Meeting of the Topical Team Space-QUEST

Space-QUEST

Experiments with quantum entanglement in space

ESA encourages and actively supports collaborations between European scientists, who all share a common interest in performing experiments using infrastructure in a space environment including the International Space Station or ground facilities. The Topical Team for supporting the Space-QUEST experiment is comprised researchers from academia who are already actively involved in space experiments, as well as partners who are presently not yet involved in space research. The objective is to support the Space-QUEST proposal within ESA and it’s member states. The members of the Topical Team will support the project with their individual scientific and technical know-how. The proposing team of Space-QUEST will also aim to increase the research community’s interaction with industry.
