    We all know that China developed the better stealth tech. This must go hand in hand with better stealth detection as well.

    for people like me wondering, what’s a quantum radar:

    They send out photons whose quantum properties changes once they hit the stealth aircraft.

    Once the single unit photons reach the radar after hitting the stealth aircraft, they are studied, thereby revealing the position of the stealth jets.

    so far all the information we have (from the article) beings with “China claims”

    I call bs and propaganda campaign but will see.

      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.

      Is all journalism this bad these days?

        The article literally only says they’ve developed a new photon detecting device, not a quantum radar system. This isn’t news.
