High Accuracy Time Synchronization for Quantum Networking

Learn about critical timing synchronization challenges in quantum networking through a technical presentation from Francisco Girela of SAFRAN GROUP. Explore how White Rabbit (WR) technology, originally developed by CERN, enables sub-nanosecond accuracy for distributed quantum nodes using optical fiber. Discover the importance of precise timing for photon coincidence counting, quantum signal coherence, and Hong-Ou-Mandel effects in quantum communications. Understand how WR's sub-picosecond frequency distribution precision is being adapted from scientific and commercial applications to address the unique demands of quantum networks, where independent receivers must maintain precise synchronization while coexisting with quantum channels.
