SUPA Visit funding for research collaboration with Italy

Project: Internally funded project

Project Details

Description

Competitively awarded funding from the SUPA awarding body of £2500. The primary aim of this research visit was to understand the engineering difficulties in developing satellites for global quantum communications, and the fundamental questions that need addressing to improve the performance of SatQKD systems. The group of Profs. Vallone and Villoresi at the University of Padova and the Italian Space Agency are experts in the field to address and understand these questions. This SUPA-supported research visit enabled me to visit these different research groups in Italy to understand the growing efforts in quantum technologies and establish new collaborations.
