Has neutrino-based signalling been achieved or is it still a research topic? Last time I read about it it was more a case of "if we could do this it would be great, but we have no idea how to do it" and a quick Google search only brought a Forbes article from 2012 which had a similar sentiment.
- the8472 9y agoThe OPERA experiment (of false FTL neutrino discovery fame) did create and detect neutrino pulses as part of their experimental setup. It's possible as far as the physics go but also impractical given the particle accelerator and detectors needed. And the post-processing the scientists had to do to tease out the timing information also would negate any latency advantage.
- dukwon 9y ago> Has neutrino-based signalling been achieved or is it still a research topic? An accelerator- or reactor-based neutrino experiment can detect whether the source is on or off, so in principle you can send binary information. This has been demonstrated using NuMI/MINERvA [1]. It's more of a novelty than anything practical. [1] https://arxiv.org/abs/1203.2847 https://arxiv.org/abs/1203.2847
