Secure quantum communications in the microwave range for the first time

Phys.org   June 19, 2019
An international team of researchers (Germany, Spain, Japan) conducted an experiment to develop a protocol for preparing a remote quantum state over a distance of 35 centimetres while conducting communication in the microwave regime. By employing propagating two-mode squeezed microwave states and feedforward, they achieved the remote preparation of squeezed states with up to 1.6 dB of squeezing below the vacuum level. They found nearly identical values for the entropy of the remotely prepared state and the respective conditional entropy given the classically communicated information and, thus, demonstrated close-to-perfect security…read more.
