CERN Pioneers Quantum Communication with White Rabbit
Scientists at CERN are pioneering a novel approach in quantum communication. They're combining the white optical timing signal with a quantum signal from entangled photon pairs for the first time locally at the facility.
The white Rabbit technology, renowned for its high precision and stability in synchronization, is being tested for its suitability in quantum communication systems. This experiment marks a significant step in the global effort to synchronize quantum networks.
The goal is to transmit the CERN-born optical timing signal alongside a single-photon signal from a source of quantum-entangled photons. High timing precision is crucial for demonstrating the distribution of entangled photon pairs in quantum key distribution. If successful, this could establish white Rabbit as a standard technology for quantum communication.
The small-scale experiment at CERN is paving the way for larger-scale quantum networks and quantum cryptography. By combining the white Rabbit optical timing signal with quantum signals, researchers aim to contribute to the rapid growth of quantum networks worldwide.
