The Australian National University is thrilled to be partnering with the Defence Science and Technology Group (DSTG) to deliver cutting-edge quantum research to enhance secure timing technologies. The uniquely Australian research project aims to create and deliver one of the most challenging components of a quantum-secured timing network, a ground-to-satellite optical quantum link.

For Kate Ferguson, ANU Institute for Space | InSpace Associate Director Strategic Projects, "This important project will upgrade the capability of the ANU Quantum Optical Ground Station at the Mt Stromlo Observatory to support uplink and downlink of quantum information over a ground-to-space quantum optical link. This will enable us to support the growing quantum space market and future space quantum missions."
