- Abstract
The European Space Agency (ESA) has supported a range of studies in the eld
of quantum physics and quantum information science in space for several years,
and consequently we have submitted the mission proposal Space-QUEST (Quantum
Entanglement for Space Experiments) to the European Life and Physical Sciences
in Space Program. We propose performing space-to-ground quantum communciation
tests from the International Space Station (ISS). We present the proposed experiments
in space as well as the design of a space based quantum communication payload.
