While stealth jets have various tricks to evade traditional radars, the quantum radars might prove to be a game-changer in a war between the US and China.
This article essentually summarizes a report from China but doesn’t give the report’s title, authors, or web link. This whole article is hearsay without providing the source material.
Also, why does it read like it was written by a middle schooler with zero technical understanding? You’d expect better quality from a website named “Interesting Engineering.”
“They send out photons whose quantum properties changes once they hit the stealth aircraft. This means that even the false signals generated by the aircraft would not be able to match the properties of the photons emitted by quantum radars.”
Like, what does that even mean? I would check the source material, but I can’t because we’re not told what it is.

for people like me wondering, what’s a quantum radar:
so far all the information we have (from the article) beings with “China claims”
I call bs and propaganda campaign but will see.

Is all journalism this bad these days?
I love how these threads always have free flowing copium in them.
The article literally only says they’ve developed a new photon detecting device, not a quantum radar system. This isn’t news.
That description is vague enough to include normal radar.
