A Chinese firm has reportedly developed and tested a radar system that uses quantum entanglement to beat the stealth technology of modern military craft, state media said.
The first Chinese quantum radar was developed by the Intelligent Perception Technology Laboratory of the 14th Institute in CETC, according to Xinhua news agency. CETC stands for Electronics Technology Group Corporation, a defense and electronics firm.
The radar was tested in mid-August, Xinhua said in a Thursday report.
The system was able to detect a target at a range of 100 kilometers in a real-world environment, the report said. The device employs single photon detection technology.
Quantum radar is a device that uses quantum entanglement photons to provide better detection capabilities than conventional radar systems. The method would be useful for tracking targets with a low radar cross section, such as modern aircraft using stealth technology or targets employing active countermeasures to jam or baffle enemy radar.
The technology may also find use in biomedicine, since quantum radar requires lower energy and can be used to non-invasively probe for objects with low reflectivity, such as cancer cells.
Earlier, China launched the world’s first quantum communications satellite, which uses quantum entanglement for cryptography.

Someone needs to tell the ChiComs when they rip off technology they can’t get it from Star Trek or it won’t actually work.
Did they steal the plans for Quantum Torpedoes too?
More ancient oriental wisdom like acupuncture and aroma therapy. That’s okay, I’ll take western antibiotics, vaccines, MRIs and more ERP (Effective Radiated Power).

I will not knock Western medicine, but acupuncture has helped my lower back pain and leg cramps a lot.
My real doc just said to take pills the rest of my life.
Another day, another garbage article about Chinese military superiority.
Another day another BS Chinese military-superiority story. If anybody had this, they’d be telling nobody. In an actual war, you wouldn’t want somebody coming with stealth aircraft to know that you can actually see them.
I see nothing.
If you had this capability, you wouldn’t tell anybody. On the first day of a war, this would be the difference between a Turkey shoot and getting your military bases blasted.
