Precision synchronization is vital for long-distance quantum networking in which entanglement swapping between separate sources via an optical Bell state measurement requires temporal overlap of arriving photonic qubits. This challenge is particularly distinct in satellite-based entanglement distribution in which relative motion, channel effects, and propagation delay must be addressed. This work presents recent progress in achieving precision synchronization in a quantum networking testbed configured for a dual-uplink architecture in which photons from sources at two ground locations would interact at Bell-state measurement on a satellite. Results demonstrate sub-ps synchronization in cases of large Doppler arising from satellite motion.
