The University of Toronto is leading a three-year international project, HyperSpace, to establish a quantum link across large distances using satellites.

Prof. John Sipe, one of the co-leads on the project, is a professor in the Department of Physics whose research focuses on quantum optics and condensed matter physics. The project aims to demonstrate the feasibility of the technology, which could ultimately make quantum applications more attractive and realistic in the near future.

The project involves researchers in five countries and will require expertise in various areas.
