Satellite-based quantum information networks: use cases, architecture, and roadmap

The first generation of global-scale quantum networks are expected to make extensive use of satellite-mediated channels. As a first step towards this goal, this manuscript proposes a full-scale architecture to implement the exchange of quantum information, taking us from use cases through to a detai...
