SeaQuaKE: Sea-optimized Quantum Key Exchange

Abstract

In this report, we summarize the results of our 1-year effort to assess critical wavelength-dependent performance considerations of a free space, maritime quantum communication system utilizing hyperentangled states. Important aspects of the quantum transmitter, quantum channel, and quantum receiver elements are included in our end-to-end systems model. The system performance at a number of infrared transmission windows, ranging from near-to long-wavelength-infrared, was projected under different atmospheric conditions. The results were used to highlight potential operating regions within this broad infrared spectrum where the highest performance of such systems might be achievable.
