SUMMARY:Integration of Optical Ground Stations for satellite-based Quantum 
 Key\nDistribution into a quantum network
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:IQC SEMINAR - STEFANIE HAEUSLER\, DEPARTMENT OF OPTICAL SATELLI

 2L 3G1\n\nQuantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a promising method to guarante
 e\nfuture-proof\, information theoretic security. Since optical fibers\nha
 ve an exponential loss with distance\, satellite-based QKD solutions\nare 
 being developed in order to realize long-distance links.\nTherefore\, Opti
 cal Ground Stations for QKD (QKD-OGS) need to be\ndesigned to enable quant
 um communication with satellites. Different\nlink configurations will resu
 lt in different integration options of\nthe QKD-OGS in the terrestrial fib
 er network and therefore impact its\nperformance. Applicable integration o
 ptions are identified and\ndiscussed.
