| Abstract | We study entanglement creation over global distances based on a quantum repeater architecture that uses low-Earth-orbit satellites equipped with entangled photon sources, as well as ground stations equipped with quantum nondemolition detectors and quantum memories. We show that this approach allows entanglement creation at viable rates over distances that are inaccessible via direct transmission through optical fibers or even from very distant satellites. |
