“…A CVQKD scenario where the distribution of the secret key with an uplink from Madrid to the ISS, downlink from the ISS to Canberra, and downlink from the ISS to Goldstone was simulated where each transmission occurs when the ISS passes over the field of view of each ground station. The passes of the ISS over the three ground stations were estimated with Gpredict, 33 and are presented in Figure 3a. In combination with the achievable SKRs of GM-CVQKD and 256-QAM for uplink and downlink presented in Figure 3b-c, the data capacity of each link was calculated.…”

Continuous variable quantum key distribution (CVQKD) uses the continuous quadratures of light to share a secret key between a transmitter and receiver. The presence of an eavesdropper can be detected by fundamental quantum mechanics. Compared to the more established discrete variable QKD, CVQKD uses more cost-effective homodyne detectors which are more compatible with current telecommunication technologies. In a future global quantum network, CVQKD could be used to ensure the secure exchange of information. In this work, the feasibility of a variety of CVQKD protocols in different channels that could be used to establish a global quantum network are studied. These are the Gaussian modulated and discrete modulated CVQKD protocols for satellite to optical ground station downlinks and uplinks for Earth-space connections, inter-satellite links for space connections, satellite to ship and underwater links for maritime connections, and fibre network links for terrestrial connections. Secret key distribution between continents and various regions is simulated while accounting for the different adverse effects associated with each link. The combination of these connections with routing and scheduling ensures inter-continental high-speed information exchange with unconditional security that is required to achieve the goal of a global quantum network.

International Drug Control and Access to Controlled Medicines in Brazil: Changes and Tensions in International Regimes (2009-2019)

Millions of people suffering pain are faced with barriers that prevent them from alleviating unbearable symptoms. This situation is of humanitarian concern and as such raises several key questions: What causes this situation? To what extent and in which ways does the international drug control system contribute to this problem? What is the role of transnational advocacy networks in this process? In answering these questions this study analyzes tensions created by the intersection between the international drug control and human rights regimes. It is focused on the behavior of States that, in the attempt to comply with drug control obligations, undermine the protection of the right to health in the area of access to opioids for pain treatment. To discuss this broad tension in a comprehensive manner, this thesis identifies three relevant levels: Tensions between (1) national sovereignty and States’ international commitments; (2) systematic institutional tensions between the World Health Organizations and the International Narcotics Control Board, and (3) tensions between adequate access to medicines and efforts to eliminate illicit markets. Based on field work interviews, this thesis examines problems faced by patients and practitioners at the national level to trace the reasons for the lack of adequate access to analgesic opioids in Brazil, which is the object of a case study. The analysis covers the period between 2009 - when The Political Declaration and Plan of Action on International Cooperation towards an Integrated and Balanced Strategy to Counter the World Drug Problem was adopted at the Commission on Narcotic Drugs - and 2019, the target date to review achievements of the previous ten years.
