Chinese team accomplishes world's first quantum encryption experiment on drone
NANJING -- Chinese scientists have performed quantum experiments at various levels, including metropolitan, intercity, intercontinental, and in space. The researchers from Nanjing University and University of Science and Technology of China have pioneered a global first by completing a quantum key distribution experiment based on a drone platform. It demonstrated that mobile platforms like drones are capable of carrying out more practical quantum tasks that require the capability to directly transmit single photons to end-users. The team established a low-loss, high-fidelity optical quantum link between a small multi-rotor drone in flight and a ground station over a distance of 200 meters. With the capability of secret key distribution using a drone, wireless communication can be expected with enhanced security in the quantum approach between mobile nodes toward a network, said the researchers.
