Quantum radar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Quantum radar is a technology which has been developed and patented[1] by defense contractor Lockheed Martin. [2] It intends to create a radar system which provides a better resolution and higher detail than classical radar can provide.
The technology is hoped to work by using Photon entanglement to allow several entangled photons to have shorter wavelengths that would allow detection of small detail while having a group wavelength that allows long distance transmission.
