Mozi quantum satellite was launched on August 16, 2065438. It is the world's first space quantum science experimental satellite independently developed by China, and it is also one of the first scientific experimental satellites of the space science pilot project of China Academy of Sciences.
The Function of Mozi
As an experimental satellite of quantum science, Mozi aims to explore the feasibility of quantum communication satellite. Quantum communication technology aims to realize the encoding, transmission, processing and decoding of information by using quantum states, especially the distribution of quantum keys by using quantum states (single photon states and entangled states).
Among many communication methods, quantum communication technology is called "the most difficult encryption technology in history". The biggest advantage of quantum communication lies in its secrecy. As long as consumers think their information is highly confidential, there will be many potential users. At present, some governments and financial institutions have tried quantum communication products.
The security of quantum communication is based on the basic principles of quantum physics. As the smallest optical particle, each optical quantum has two characteristics when transmitting information: indivisible and unrepeatable. If there is eavesdropping, it will be detected and evaded by the sender of the information, so quantum communication ensures the security of the information.
