Abstract

This paper proposes a global-scale quantum internet using a constellation of orbiting satellites for continuous, on-demand entanglement distribution to ground stations. The authors develop a technique to determine optimal satellite configurations balancing the number of satellites and entanglement-distribution rates. They analyze satellite-to-ground loss and achievable rates for various configurations, comparing them to ground-based quantum repeater schemes. The study provides theoretical tools and experimental guidance for realizing a satellite-based global quantum internet.
