timo Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Yes. Radio programs are transfered by electromagnetic waves, for example. Are you spanish ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tabasco man Posted August 11, 2005 Author Share Posted August 11, 2005 so thats what quantum waves are, electro magnetic waves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timo Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ydoaPs Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 it depends on what you mean by quantum waves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabasco man Posted August 11, 2005 Author Share Posted August 11, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabasco man Posted August 12, 2005 Author Share Posted August 12, 2005 alrighty mi amigos who here is the smartest in the whole quantum thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DQW Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Can quantum waves be used as a means to el communicatoOne 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. http://www.scienceforums.net/forums/showthread.php?t=5230 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. http://www.scienceforums.net/forums/showthread.php?t=13255 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaynos Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 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 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swansont Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabasco man Posted August 12, 2005 Author Share Posted August 12, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
