Biography
Paul G. Kwiat is the Bardeen Chair in Physics, at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and was inaugural Director of the Illinois Quantum Information Science & Technology Center (IQUIST). A Fellow of the American Physical Society and the Optical Society of America, and recipient of the OSA 2009 R. W. Wood Prize, he has given invited talks at numerous national and international conferences, has authored over 185 articles on various topics in quantum optics and quantum information, and holds several patents on various quantum techologies. His research includes optical realizations of various quantum information protocols, particularly using entangled—and hyperentangled—photons to implement advanced quantum communication and sensing.
Abstract
We report on our recent efforts to implement quantum communication on and between moving platforms, including cars, drones, and the International Space Station. Specifically, we’ve demonstrated secure quantum communication and world-record entanglement quality aboard these platforms.
