No mention of privacy implications?
- gus_massa 8y agoDon't worry too much. It's mostly quantum linkbait and quantum exaggeration. The underground vision will have a very low resolution. Your can detect if there is a basement, but not if there is someone there. My guess is that instead of using of a single Rubidium atom (as described in the press article) they are using a Bose condensate with a bunch of Rubidium atoms. This is a cool (cold :)) quantum phenom, but most of the current electronic equipment use other quantum phenom, like the quantum LEDs, the quantum CCD of cameras, the quantum transistors in a microprocessor, ... The vision around corners may (a bey big may) have better resolution, but probably only enough to detect big objects. Maintaining entanglement/coherence after bouncing in objects is very difficult, if the objects are not perfectly still. It's more difficult to imagine what quantum thing they are using that is not used in common cameras.
