In a world where we are increasingly reliant on digital means of communication, information security plays an important role. Entanglement allows us to communicate with unconditional security against even the most sophisticated types of hacking attacks. However, the distribution of entangled states of light over large, real-world distances and through noisy environments poses a key challenge. In addition to an increased information capacity, high-dimensional quantum states offer a natural resistance to noise, allowing us to surpass some of the limitations of qubit-based networks. We are developing noise-robust quantum communication methods that use temporal and spatial encoding to achieve record information capacities and operate in real-world environments, such as existing telecom networks... A very special congratulations goes out to Professor Zeilinger, whom Mehul spent several years working with in Vienna, before moving to Edinburgh and starting the BBQ Lab. In recognition of the..
