Abstract

In this work we will address the transformation of the polarization state of single photons during the transmission along a Space channel and the measures to correct them in order to accomplish Quantum Communication (QC) between Space and Earth.

Keywords: Satellite quantum communication polarization analysis quantum key distribution
