Quantum linked high energy photons sense near road
conditions without illumination as well as an absence of
maps.
Ive written a couple ideas here about using quantum linked
photons to accomplish things. These generally refer to the
image of a figurine at New scientist where the figurine is
imaged completely with quantum linked photons rather
than reflected photons or the presence of a detecter
opposite an emitter. (link) Making this a part of vehicles
would permit them to know the terrain ahead independent
of line of sight mapping, thus evade potholes or things
around corners which would have gone undetected.
As such it could make robotic driven vehicles superior to
human driven vehicles as the 3d data is actually richer than
visual data.
Noting Dr Shihs work at newscientist (link) just changing
the imaging photons to radiographic photons you can see
terrain density ahead of you, even without line of sight
illumination as the radiographic photons can travel a few
feet through dirt, thus without line of site on a pothole,
you detect the nonabsorption of the radiographic photon at
the pothole then the computer knows which way to move
the vehicle. Similarly it is possible to radiographically
across corners.
This would definitely make a nice supersense at a
humaniform robot as well, as it could detect topologies
better than humans could see without MEMSish systems
sending data.
Among the numerous things I do not know about quantum
linked systems are, if you have an absolutely unique
isotope, can you quantum effect things sufficiently to
detect the unique spectra at a farther distance as there is
vastly less uncertainty because the spectral line is
completely unique. Its noiseless. like is a photon from an
isotopically unique LED mathematically detectable at
greater distances as there is only one thing that could have
produced it. If so, then isotopically unique lasers could
provide much farther distance quantum imaging
Other uses of this technology are mineral prospecting, as
well as delivering precise radiation to tumors.

USAF quantum linked photon sensing application
http://www.af.mil/n...ry.asp?id=123100828
the article says Dr. Deacon said he believes ghost-imaging may enable a satellite to be equipped with a detector and that would be coupled with a second camera that would take images of the sun. That combination of technologies could generate ghost images of the Earth's surface, even if there are obstructing atmospheric conditions. [beanangel, Mar 14 2012]
radiographic photons go through dirt

Features such as the nature of stratigraphic boundaries and their precise locations, signs of disturbance, mixing and redeposition and variations in sediment density may be highlighted. Apparently homogenous deposits may be shown to contain stratigraphic and structural information. [beanangel, Mar 14 2012]

Baked in numerous forms and for several decades. You
should get out more. |
|

I advise you to leave science fiction to writers like
[The Alterother]. If you want to try your hand at it, that's
fine, but present it as such. I'll even give you a few
pointers: work on your
punctuation, grammar, concept development, narrative
cohesion, and contextual delivery, _then_ try using words
like 'quantum'. |
|
| |
You missed one, Alterother...
//evade potholes//
sp: avoid potholes. Although I'm mightily attracted by the idea of autonomous potholes that tirelessly pursue your car in an attempt to throw themselves under your wheels. |
|
| |
this is figuratively incredible. making my car drive itself, better, seems like a sad first application for such a capable technology. |
|
| |
I'm missing something about the quantim linked photon application so linked. In order for it to work, you need two detectors, one in the usual place, and another one that's already *around the corner*. Practically, this might be tricky when driving through parts of, France for example, where you've not already had time to go visit prior to your trip and carefully arrange a bunch of detectors around each of the corners around which you intend to turn. |
|
| |
So while it is nifty to be able to generate an image based on photons that have never seen, bounced off or otherwise directly interacted with the object that you intend to observe, the excitement is rather deflated when looking at applications since you need to set up a detector next to the same object in the first place. If the object is something you already have access to, and if your primary motive is to observe the object, then most times, it's going to be easier just to detect the photons first-hand, in the traditional manner, than it's going to be to shell out on twice the detecting kit, in order to form a patchy image based on indirect photon detection. |
|
| |
One point to [beany]. Most of the others to [Alterother], though. |
|
| |
I can't help but admire your persistence and redoubtability. |
|
| |
redoubtable (adj): able to be doubted multiple times. |
|
| |
//I'm mightily attracted by the idea of autonomous potholes// |
|
| |
Autonomous, *flocking* potholes. |
|
| |
I went and looked it up, and you're right. It's somebody
else's made-up word. Point ceded. |
|
| |
//"flocking" potholes// Most of them do tend to prefer certain roads. Of course with evil flocking roadcones, vehicles can be directed into the ones incapable of easy movement. |
|
| |
//Autonomous, *flocking* potholes//
Nah! I see Autonomous Potholes as the ambush predators of the highway world, often solitary, sometimes hunting in packs whereas Flocking Road Cones are the gentle natured herbivores. |
|
| |
Everyone who thinks they're joking about roving gangs of
potholes should come up to my neck of the woods. Dips
and frost heaves can move twenty or thirty feet overnight.
As soon as the orange 'bump' tag goes up, that rim-killer
it's warning you about finds a new piece of real estate. |
|
| |
Maybe we could bake up some kind of bump tracking
system. |
|
| |
I am pretty sure the huge gigantic important part that [zen_tom] brings up is that the detectors gets to skip being n line with the emitter. The detector can be before or aside from the object. |
|
| |
There is now a new link to an Air Force sees through clouds application where the detector is far from the absorbed photons.
It actually uses quantum linked solar photons to see the earths surface when the detector is physically Before the object |
|
| |
thats why it could see around corners. If you like you could say I am being derivative as all I am doing here is applying the satellite imaging technology to vehicles, as well as suggesting radiographic photons, when I say radiograph I mean high energy photons like those at the link |
|
| |
so the air force n the radiologist both suggest it works |
|
| |
It's not a USAF 'application', it's a DoD-backed 'study'
investigating the same voodoo and being conducted by the
same witch doctor as introduced in the first article you
linked to, one which you've already demonstrated that you
don't understand. It's even illustrated with the same stock
photo of a blurry humanoid figure that, if any of this is to
be believed, is a toy soldier imaged at a range of _45
centimeters_. The claims of satellite imaging capability are
nothing more than high hopes on the part of this Dr. Shih. |
|
| |
Furthermore, the USAF and many other agencies around
the world already have very effective airborne and orbital
cloud-penetrating technology in use today. |
|
| |
If any of this is to be adapted to autonomous devices, i.e.
allowing robots of any kind to 'see' around corners, you're
putting the cart miles in front of the horse--one of the
most difficult hurdles in robotics today (and one that we
are just beginning to overcome) is the development of
effective image interpretation software. Before we go
building robotic cars or airplanes or mineral detectors or
what have you that can see obscured objects, we need to
perfect robotic whatevers that can see what's right in front
of them. |
|
| |
Meanwhile, stop and think about this: I'm not even one of
the science gurus here. If I can shoot you down this easily,
maybe it's time to move on to a different subject. |
|
| |
most of this annotation does not have to do with
the idea. mildly supporting the notion of
quantum linked technologies at space is the ESA
brochure at the link that notes quantum linked
photons on earth have over 100 kilometer
observability, nonentangled single photons with
16 km at open space are published. |
|
| |
so from the perspective of a robot, the open
space 16km quantum linked photons part suggests
the really important thing is the radiographic
photon distance. |
|
| |
note:
This is an opportunity to model my new echelon
attraction code awowymous. |
|
| |
I thought there should be A normal english
appearing phrase that can be used during normal
online communication that says, focused
espionage or disinformation is being practiced
here, material is likely to be of greater value than
usual. It is an approach that the automated web
reading computers of numerous nations or
companies could use to find things others were
trying to divert attention around. |
|
| |
Purple suede silver belt (psyops) or brownie
eagle(assassinations) doesn't find much casual
conversational usage. nor does Lulz Sec, so
maybe it should be something like Awowymous. a
person could say the word anonymous, yet
suggest they were feeling lively so they could say
"awowymous" |
|
| |
Are you really that worried about attracting the attention
of Echelon? Because you just did when you mentioned LS.
I'd be highly surprised if you even know how Echelon
works. Personally, I'm not overly concerned about it,
because there is nothing about me that the NSA would
have any interest in. If you think they're interested in you,
add delusions of grandeur to your laundry list of mental
and social defects. On the other hand, the less official
attention HB attracts, the less likely it is that we'll be
grossly misunderstood by some bureaucrat, so keep it
down, huh? |
|
| |
Quantum teleportation is about high-speed data transfer.
At the moment, the only correlation between that and the
idea you've sort of presented here are the words 'quantum'
and 'photon'. The ESA thing won't even load, so I have no
idea what nonsense that entails. |
|
| |
If I keep annoing this post it's going to get very nasty, so
I'm done here. I'll be happy to scrutinize your next
creation, but until then, see ya, [beany]. |
