Book club on how quantum radar so simple and this is how it works. But it really doesn't matter except to historians, but as new empires merge make more 'uncertain toys' new radar takes away the element of a total surprise. But in remote regions this wouldn't be such the case as stealth drones become common place. In fact this has been the way for many model aircraft enthusiasts for years now. As this new quantum radar sends photons in pulses that contain several of the quantum particles, one or more of which could be easily siphoned away and replicated to tune the signal sent back to the same state as the one sent so they are more sophisticated but now easier to monitor ‘document Ariel strikes’ although nobody really cares about airstrikes, but it does gives innocents a little more protection. As further, 'a sophisticated jammer may use quantum teleportation' of goods to teleport the polarisation state of our querying photons onto photons carrying false position or time information,' says the study if you know what I mean. However while the equipment needed to carry out such sophisticated jamming is readily available in labs worldwide, it is not thought yet to be deployed by any military. State of the art jamming technology sends back 'spoof' signals that fool radar operators into believing their target is harmless or elsewhere. New technology can detect these kinds of ruses by reading the quantum signature of photons transmitted. To ensure the signal is genuine any attempt to measure a photon always changes its quantum properties and here's for the simplified version.
The new radar concept relies on the fact that any attempt to measure a photon always destroys its quantum properties, No fooling around so when there is no 'jamming attack', the received image faithfully reproduces the actual object, shown. If the target attempts to send a 'spoof' image like the one on the bottom, the imaging system can detect the presence of the jamming attack, because of the large error rate in the received polarization 'That’s an impressive demonstration of the first imaging system that is unjam able thanks to quantum mechanics,' says MIT Technology Reviews Physics. 'A sophisticated jammer may use quantum teleportation to teleport the polarisation state of our querying photons onto photons carrying false position or time information however, the researchers admit that their novel radar system is 'still not perfect'. As MIT's blogger explains, it suffers from the same limitations that plagued early quantum cryptographic systems. A U.S. Air Force B-2A stealth bomber: Researchers have managed to develop a new kind of radar that is able to see through the counter-measures deployed as a ruse to fool anti-aircraft systems. However, a team from the University of Rochester, New York have shown how the quantum properties of photons can be used to outsmart this advanced stealth technology. U.S. researchers have employed the quantum properties of photons to create an unjammable radar signal. Conventional radar is vulnerable to a range of technologies, ranging from dropping chaff to create false reflections to drowning the radar frequency with noise. More sophisticated radar can deal with such ploys, but the most sophisticated radar jammers are able to intercept the signals and send back false information.
To exploit this curious property, the Rochester team suggest using polarized photons to detect and image objects. If a stealth aircraft attempts to intercept these photons and resend them in a way that disguises its position, it would inevitably change the photons' quantum properties - revealing any interference. In order to jam our imaging system, the object must disturb the delicate quantum state of the imaging photons, thus introducing statistical errors that reveal its activity,' the researchers say in a paper published in the journal Applied Physics Letters. Schematic of the quantum-secured radar: If a stealth aircraft attempts to intercept the photons and resend them in a way that disguises its position, it would inevitably change the photons' quantum properties. The technology works in a similar way to quantum key distribution for cryptography, where any eavesdropper would change the quantum properties of the key by listening in, revealing his or her presence. Mehul Malik, who led the team that carried out the research at Rochester's Institute of Optics, tested the concept by bouncing photons off a stealth bomber-shaped target and measuring the return signal's polarization error rate. The system easily imaged the war plane without any eavesdropping, but when the adversary intercepted the signal and modified it to send back the image of a bird, the radar was easily able to see through the ruse.
