International Space Station / New technology will change the way of 'quantum communication', if successful, you will get instant information about the gravitational force on the earth

An instrument that will be used on the International Space Station (ISS) by the end of this year will help spread quantum communication networks globally in the future.

This technique has been named 'Space Entanglement and Annealing Quantum Experiment'. It is a carton-sized device, which will use two new technologies of communication in the harshest conditions of space. According to scientists, quantum computers can complete data exchange or operation at a speed millions of times faster than ordinary computers. If quantum sensors are installed all over the earth, then in the future we can get information about the changes in the gravitational force of the earth every minute. But quantum computers or sensors would need a fixed communication network to interact with each other.

In the year 2022, the initial investigation of this communication network will be done in space. The nodes of the Quantum Communication System (SEQ) will be installed on the space station. It will receive or transmit quantum data. This data will come directly to the earth without any optical instruments. If this experiment is successful, then in future such quantum nodes will be deployed all around in space.

Data can be sent without interruption

Quantum nodes will allow data to be sent over long distances rapidly without interruption. Because the data will be transmitted through photons. This will lead to quantum cloud computing in the future. That is, wherever the quantum computer is, its data will be safe in the cloud. SeQ will be deployed outside the space station.

The device itself will repair the damage caused by radiation

Seq is the master of self healing. That is, if there is any kind of damage due to the radiation of the sun, then this device will fix it itself. So that the device continues to work properly even in adverse conditions of space.

Promote the technology of communication in the future

If both of these techniques succeed, the technology of quantum communication will be promoted in the future, said Makan Mohagge, SeQ's co-investigator at NASA's JPL. This project will work at the global level. It also includes many other countries including America, Canada, Singapore.
