Space Entanglement and Annealing Quantum Experiment (SEAQUE) during space station testing two technologies that might advance the sector of quantum communications.
The first technology is a novel approach to transmitting quantum data. The method could pave the way in which for a scalable quantum information network and form the premise of quantum cloud computing, a technology that guarantees to run thousands and thousands of times faster than conventional computers. SEAQUE may even validate technology that allows its sensitive detectors to “self-repair” against radiation damage using laser annealing, extending the lifetime of these quantum tools in the space environment.
The Materials ISS experimental flight facility, mounted outside the International Space Station, allows researchers to check the performance and sturdiness of materials and devices. This is completed by exposing objects of interest to every thing that makes the space environment harsh, including radiation, highly reactive atomic oxygen, microgravity, and extreme temperatures.
Currently, the MISSE-20-Commercial study is included in one package on the platform, which incorporates 12 experiments conducted by different research teams.
