Quantum communication: Russia and China exchange secret data via satellite

Russian scientists have conducted the first experiment of quantum cryptographic data transfer between Russia and China. The technological breakthrough took place within the framework of joint cooperation between the specialists of the National Research Technological University "MISIS", the Russian Quantum Center (RCC) and the KuSpace Technologies company.

Using the Chinese quantum communication satellite Mo Tzu enabled the transmission of encrypted keys over a distance of more than 3,800 km.

Using a ground station specially designed by Russian specialists in Zvenigorod, encrypted images of 256x64 pixels were exchanged with a partner station in Nanshan, China, demonstrating significant progress in the field of international quantum communication.

With the growing volume of digital information and the need to protect it from unauthorized access, quantum cryptography represents a fundamentally new approach to data security. Unlike traditional cryptography, which relies on mathematical algorithms, quantum cryptography is based on the principles of quantum physics, making information impossible to decipher.
