DRDO & IIT Delhi Achieve 1km Quantum Secure Communication Test
India has marked a significant milestone in quantum technology with a successful demonstration of quantum entanglement-based secure communication, conducted by the DRDO-Industry-Academia Centre of Excellence (DIA-CoE) at IIT Delhi. The trial, achieved over a free-space optical link on the IIT Delhi campus, demonstrated secure quantum communication over a distance of more than one kilometre. The experiment achieved a secure key rate of approximately 240 bits per second, with a quantum bit error rate of under 7%. This entanglement-assisted communication method represents a breakthroug..
