Quantum System Methods for Next Generation Satellite Design
کلمات کلیدی:
Quantum, Satellite, system Designچکیده
Significant advances in quantum systems have driven quantum physics from a purely theoretical field into the realm of engineering. With the second quantum revolution, concepts such as quantum entanglement and quantum tunneling have entered the engineering domain. Quantum computers and quantum cryptography mark the transition from the modern space age to an era leveraging atomic-scale particles. This paper examines quantum capabilities for next-generation satellite design methods. Currently, the primary design difference between traditional and quantum satellites lies in data transmission. Moreover, fully utilizing quantum technologies requires quantum repeaters, which are not yet in operation. Despite current limitations in quantum technology, rapid scientific progress suggests that these technologies will soon open new avenues for optimized data transmission. With the adoption of advanced technologies, it is anticipated that quantum satellite constellations may eventually form in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) around Earth.
