Bengaluru, Feb 22 : Researchers team headed by Urbasi Sinha at the Raman Research Institute (RRI) successfully demonstrated free space quantum distribution key between two buildings in the institute using an atmospheric channel.
This is the first time the technique - called entanglement-based quantum-key distribution - has been demonstrated using ground stations based in RRI at a distance of 50 meters apart.
This breakthrough experiment - new and improved protocol for quantum communication - is poised to revolutionise security for strategic sectors like - banking, defence, cyber security - as well as for the applications involving the common man.
