question for ya guys

Featured Replies

Yes. Radio programs are transfered by electromagnetic waves, for example. Are you spanish ?

No, a quantum mechanical wave is not nessecarily an electromagnetic one. But electromagnetic waves were the easiest example of a QM wave that came to my mind.

I guess I mean is there anything in the whole quantum subject that could be used for communication, kinda like what we got with the ol radio waves

Can quantum waves be used as a means to el communicato
One thing that comes close to an answer, in the spirit that I imagine this question was intended is the speculation that you can have communication between a pair of nanodevices on a chip, by placing them at the foci of a quantum corral.

Another answer that comes to mind is the possible use of photon polarizations to designate binary bits to achieve encrypted communication that overcomes the key distribution problem.

Well last time I studied any QM stuff we studeied EM waves one "type" of which is radio waves. But I belive there is a whole branch called Quantum Communications...

Simiarly you can use the spin of an atom or subatomic particle to represent binary bits which can also be used in quantum encryption.

One difference between e.g. quantum entanglement and using radio waves for coommunication is that even though photons are quantum, the basics of radio waves are classical in nature - you aren't taking advantage of the quantum nature. Quantum entanglement schemes take advantage of the quantum nature to give higher fidelity than could be achieved by classical means.

Now hold on here folks I have no idears what any of ya just said, but maybe one of ya guys could teach me a lil bit ya know.

 

Also how about el cumminacating over long distances. Im talkin real long distances
