Scientists at the University of Technology Sydney have shown that quantum light beams can be sent from Earth to space, not just from satellites down to Earth. This “uplink” breakthrough could enable flexible, global quantum communication networks. By modeling real-world challenges like atmospheric interference and moonlight, researchers proved the system’s feasibility. The approach could make quantum satellites smaller, cheaper, and vital for a future quantum internet connecting computers worldwide.
