Article Synopsis
- Technological limitations constrain terrestrial quantum key distribution (QKD) to distances of just a few hundred kilometers.
- A potential solution for wider quantum communication is utilizing low-Earth-orbit satellites.
- This study demonstrates successful QKD from a stationary transmitter to a moving receiver, simulating satellite conditions, achieving a secure key generation rate of 40 bits/s while addressing various technical challenges.
