A prototype quantum radar that has the potential to detect objects which are invisible to conventional systems has been developed by an international research team led by a quantum information scientist at the University of York.<\/p>\n
The new breed of radar is a hybrid system that uses quantum correlation between microwave and optical beams to detect objects of low reflectivity such as cancer cells or aircraft with a stealth capability. Because the quantum radar operates at much lower energies than conventional systems, it has the long-term potential for a range of applications in biomedicine including non-invasive NMR scans.<\/p>\n
The research team led by Dr Stefano Pirandola, of the University\u2019s Department of Computer Science and the York Centre for Quantum Technologies, found that a special converter \u2014 a double-cavity device that couples the microwave beam to an optical beam using a nano-mechanical oscillator \u2014 was the key to the new system.<\/p>\n
