A University of Ottawa team has developed a new way to protect free-space quantum key distribution (QKD) from atmospheric turbulence, one of the main causes of distortion and errors when sending quantum information through air. Their paper, "All-optical turbulence mitigation for free-space quantum key distribution using stimulated parametric down-conversion," appears in the journal Optica.
