SUMMARY:IQC Student Seminar featuring Ramy Tannous
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:AVENUES FOCUSING REFERENCE FRAME INDEPENDENT PROTOCOLS TO\nENH
 ANCE FREE SPACE SATELLITE QUANTUM COMMUNICATIONS CHANNELS\n\nFree-space
  quantum channels for real world quantum information\napplications are rap
 idly emerging\, with Canada developing the quantum\nencryption and science
  satellite (QEYSSat). For polarization-based\nsystems\, one challenge is a
 ligning the reference frame of the\npolarization states. For example\, the
  physical orientation of the\nsatellites is crucial in maintaining the pro
 per geometric reference\nframe alignment. However\, reference frame indepe
 ndent (RFI) protocols\novercome this issue because they don’t require al
 l the polarization\nstates to be fixed. Furthermore\, using time bin encod
 ing completely\nremoves the need for a geometric reference\, but presents 
 its own\nchallenges when used over a free space channel. In this talk\, we
  will\ndiscuss the development done at the University of Waterloo towards 
 the\nuse of reference frame independent protocols for free-space quantum\n
 channels. Furthermore\, we will discuss the benefits of using time bin\nen
 coding over free-space channels\, and present our implementations of\nsuch
  systems and what they mean for future QEYSSat missions and\napplications 
 on other platforms.\n\nADD EVENT TO CALENDAR\n\nApple [https://www.addeven
