Description:
n a previous HTSN project, an intra-city free-space quantum communication link was created over the city of Ottawa. The 5.4km-long channel directly links the campus of the University of Ottawa and the Montreal Road campus of the NRC. In an effort to connect this free-space link with other types of quantum communication channels (fiber and satellite) to establish a larger quantum network, the team will demonstrate the compatibility of the free-space link with different optical configurations. The goal is to test the performance of the link at wavelengths, bandwidths, pulse durations and spatial modes supported by fiber channels and quantum satellite links.
