SUMMARY:Nanosatellites for Quantum Science and Profit - Dr Daniel Oi\, Uni
 versity of Strathclyde
DTSTART:20190121T153000Z

CONTACT:Kayleigh Dunn
DESCRIPTION:We are at the start of a quantum space race with pioneering re
 sults in bringing quantum physics to space recently achieved. China's Quan
 tum Experiments at Space Scale (QUESS) satellite\, also known as Micius\, 
 successfully performed entanglement distribution\, quantum teleportation\,
  and quantum cryptography to and from orbit. The MAIUS 1 mission produced 
 the first Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) in space opening up new possibili
 ties for next generation space quantum clocks and cold atom science. These
  proof-of-principle demonstrations show the potential for advances in timi
 ng\, navigation\, remote sensing\, fundamental science\, as well as buildi
 ng the infrastructure for a global quantum internet. In this talk\, I will
  give an overview of the efforts to bring quantum science and technology i
 nto space. In particular\, I will discuss how CubeSats\, kg-class spacecra
 ft\, may play a role in this rapidly developing movement.
