Effects of selected noises on the quantum memory satellite based quantum repeaters

Abstract

Quantum repeaters are a key part of long-range free-space quantum key distribution. They allow us to circumvent the negative effects of the no-cloning theorem. Quantum repeaters are also a key point in point-to-point communication since otherwise, a direct line of sight would be necessary. In our simulation, we examined the QKD capabilities of quantum repeaters in a satellite-based network, along with selected types of noises.
