Quantum Computers have the potential to offer a huge range of benefits. By increasing processing power exponentially, they will unlock new, exciting capabilities and improve our current capacity considerably. This does however put at risk technologies which have long relied on computational expense for their function. An example of this is encryption, whi...

Quantum technology can enable highly-secure communications through satellite-based Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) which exploits UK expertise in miniature satellites. The space approach mitigates current limitations of terrestrial QKD networks: the relatively high price-tag of infrastructure as compared to miniature satellites, and restrictions on range r...

Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is expected to form a critical part of future secure communications infrastructure. Keys are a highly valuable cryptographic tool for securing valuable and sensitive data. Current key methods protect transactions including mobile telephony, corporate intellectual property, diplomatic cables and financial transactions. The di...

Major organisations rely on strong encryption, including the process of encryption key agreement. Future quantum computers have the potential to compromise key agreement schemes based on asymmetric encryption and widely deployed Public Key Infrastructure. Over long distances and without quantum repeaters, Business Continuity (BC) can be maintained if comm...

Quantum technologies provide both a threat to, and a solution for, ensuring security in the the communication systems which underpin our daily lives. As quantum computing increases in capability, existing methods for securing data will become obsolete. In parallel new quantum cryptographic methods are being developed which will help to mitigate this threa...

"The value proposition which satellite applications bring to any commercial or societal problem is focussed around two core themes: 'telecommunication' and 'tele-observation'. Furthermore, by enabling long distance communication and long distance observational capabilities, satellites and especially modern satellite constellations, enable highly scalable ...

CubeSats (< 10 kg nanosatellites, with dimensions 10-40 cm) offer an accepted cost-effective and rapidly deployed opportunity to provide both proof-of-concept to a wider market and for technology raising. They are also now part of the final service delivery in some markets disrupting the status quo; for example, in Earth Observation where CubeSats support...
