Sending and\nreceiving comp onents\, including quantum random number generators\, can\nbe efficiently built in integrated components. Optical free space\ncommunication is a re liable means to transmit classical and quantum\ninformation. Free space li nks offer ad-hoc establishment in\nintra-city communication\, air-to-grou nd or satellite-to-ground\nscenarios.\n DTSTAMP:20250523T224748Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
