Quantum dot-based technology can be a new tool against stealth technology.

Quantum radar. It can be two-layer graphene. The system puts quantum entanglement between particles that are locked in those squares. The system should use particle pairs. In transmitting particle pairs. The outer particle is at a lower energy level. That particle transmits signals. And in receiving a particle pair, the outer particle is in the lower energy size, which allows it to transport information into the system. That kind of quantum dot-based technology can break the stealth material. In that system, the frame spins, and that makes it possible to create. The scanning Doppler radar.  

In some other versions, the system uses a cut nanotube. The nanotube forms the crown-shaped structure. And in the middle of the nanotube is the antenna that transmits. The nanotube spins around that antenna. And that allows it to create the nanotechnical Doppler radar. The main problem. With Doppler radars. The antenna must move. 

So. That it can work right. The reason for that is this. The same antenna cannot transmit. And receive at the same time. The moving antenna makes it possible. That. The angle of the receiving antenna changes. This makes it possible. To determine the location of the point where signals reflect. Normally, the radar has a light parabolic shape, which makes it possible to determine the distance to objects. Another version. It is easier to use the change of frequency when the object comes straight to the radar.

By using light instead of electrical signals on microchips, data speed can be increased and energy loss reduced.

Those transmitter-receiver antenna pairs can have an adjustable angle. This allows them to measure distance to the target. Very accurately. In those cases, the other antennas can send plus, and the other transmitter antennas can send A minus mark. Radio signals. Those signals form an electric arc to the target. 

This is important when something comes. Straight ahead to radar. The quantum dot-based radar can also use moving structures. 

Sometimes it’s discussed. About the possibility of using things like helium atoms as quantum radars. The atom’s core acts as a transmitter. And electrons act as a receiver. The system can also use things like excitons. The hole acts as a receiver. And the electron. Which orbits the hole act as a transmitter. Those exciton-based systems are already in use. 

In the laser-based systems. They can use the one-pixel scanner. And the nano-lasers. Those one-pixel systems can be in a frame that spins around the laser. 

The new nanotechnical lasers can act as pairs with the pixels that can receive the reflection. The laser. It can have a frame. Those receiving pixels are in that frame. As a circle. This makes it possible to create optical lidar (”laser radar”) that can scan surfaces and operate over longer distances.

The user determines the purpose of lasers and rockets.



"Illustration of China's groundbreaking portable laser weapon operating in extreme temperatures. Image generated by AI." (Sustainability Times, “China Stuns the World Again”: New 2.47kW Portable Laser Works in Arctic Cold and Blistering Saharan Heat)

New Chinese laser weapons can operate from arctic cold to Sahara heat. The portable 2,47 kW laser system can be used against vehicles, robots, and other military personnel. The same system can also be used to cut electric wires and cut steelworks. And that is the true advance in laser weapon development. The laser weapon can use electric systems to create light. But it is also possible to use things like acetylene lamps for that purpose. The laser weapon can also use the laser-LEDs. That pumps energy to laser rays that travel between them. 

That kind of system allows developers to make new types of weapons. Or weaponized applications. The laser weapon can operate also at orbital, where even small laser weapons can cause damage to satellites and space suits. 



Illustration of the HQ-29 missile defense system in action. Image generated by AI. (Sustainability Times, “China Prepares for War in Space”: HQ-29 Missile System Can Destroy Satellites and Ballistic Threats Mid-Air)

Another interesting thing is that the Chinese created a new HQ-29 missile system that can be used in anti-ballistic missile, ABM, and anti-satellite, ASAT roles. Those missiles tell that China is prepared for space warfare. But the fact is that all rockets that can carry satellites or any payload to orbiter can operate as space weapons. The critical thing is the miniature satellites that can shoot even hundreds in one launch.

Heavy booster rockets can transport those miniature satellites to orbit. And when command centers give orders, those satellites will impact other satellites. Miniature satellites that use advanced AI can also dive against incoming ASAT weapons. Those satellites can operate in other missions, and when time is up they can begin their attack procedures.

The miniature satellite can recognize the target using similar technology that Javelin missiles use. The satellite recognizes its target by using the image. And if those systems are shot to high-orbiter using the heavy booster, they can attack against their targets from the higher altitudes. There is an attack variant where the small satellite pulls the large-size trawl that it uses to put satellites following it. And then that satellite just dives into the atmosphere, pulling the target satellite behind it. 

Things like solar-powered aircraft that can rise about 30 km high can transport small airborne launching vehicles to the edge of space. Then those small satellite carriers like Pegasus can transport satellites to the low earth orbiter. The Pegasus-type launching vehicles can also transport ASAT and ABM weapons. After launch the unmanned launching aircraft can return home. The new solar-powered aircraft whose wingspan is the same as Helios can make this thing. The problem with Helios was that its wings were not stiff enough. So that caused a crash. The wingspan of that new system is the same as the C-5 Galaxy. And it should rise at least 29 km altitude.

The new systems allow researchers to control qubits better than any time before.

  The new systems allow researchers to control qubits better than any time before. 


The new observations about electron's permanent dipole movement are pathfinders for atom-size quantum computers. Precisely working quantum computers require the ability to control the system with extremely high accuracy. That ability requires that the system can observe its actor and a new type of sensor makes it possible to create new types of qubits. The ability to measure electrons' dipole movement makes it possible to create sterile photons with high-accurate energy levels.

Because the system sees the actor like electrons it can shoot very highly accurate laser beams into those quantum systems. If the system can make atom-size quantum computers those systems will be the most advanced tools that researchers have ever created before. 

The atom-size quantum computer that operates at room temperature can turn even nanomachines intelligent. In some visions, researchers can put atom-sized quantum computers inside living neurons, and those systems could make a new type of boost for neural networks. Those atom-size quantum computers can have microscopic chambers where they operate by using neural electricity. Those small systems might exchange information between neurons. And that thing can give a boost to the abilities of the insects. 


"MIT researchers have successfully controlled quantum randomness using “vacuum fluctuations,” introducing a breakthrough in probabilistic computing with potentially wide-ranging applications." (ScitechDaily.com/Harnessing the Void: MIT Controls Quantum Randomness For the First Time)



"A new study offers the most precise measurement to date of the electron’s permanent electric dipole moment, providing critical insight into the imbalance between matter and antimatter in the Universe. The study used electrons confined in molecular ions to improve the previous best measurement by a factor of about 2.4, aiding efforts to refine or extend the standard model of particle physics". (ScitchDaily.com/Cracking One of the Universe’s Biggest Mysteries: “The Most Precise Measurement Yet” of Electron’s Permanent Electric Dipole Moment) 



"Using laser light, researchers have innovated a precise method to control individual barium qubits, advancing prospects for quantum computing". (ScitechDaily.com/Laser Precision Qubit Control: Leap in Reliable Quantum Information Processing)


The ability to control the quantum randomness makes it possible to create new quantum systems with better error-handling capacity. 


What if we put qubit in the bubble, or some kind of cosmic void? That thing makes it possible to eliminate the outcoming radiofrequency radiation. The control of the qubit can made by using lasers. The idea is that the miniature void. That is made by using extremely high-energy electrons. 

A laser or some maser system inputs energy to that electron which forms the protective field over qubit. The idea is that the electron sends radiation that power is easy to calculate. And then that radiation keeps the natural radiation with randomly changing energy levels away from the qubit. The idea is that the calculated and controlled field covers the non-calculated field. 

The ability to control quantum randomness removes the disturbance from quantum systems. And that thing makes it possible to understand, model, and control the quantum systems. The ability to control quantum systems and calculate the outcoming effects makes it possible to create quantum calculators that have better error tolerance. 

Theoretically is quite easy to remove the outcoming radiation effect from quantum computers. The system must know the qubit's original energy level and then the level of outcoming energy. 

Then the system must just reduce the outcoming energy from the final energy level. (Final energy level-original energy level). Of course, the system must follow outcoming energy during the entire operation. And then it must know things like frequency, wavelength, and other kinds of things about the outcoming energy. 

But if the system knows all the necessary variables and makes the right calculations at the right time. That thing makes it possible to create new quantum systems with higher error tolerance. Or the system can control and detect errors better.

Why researchers are so interested in laser weapons?

 Why researchers are so interested in laser weapons?  


The arm race is a race between an improved attacker and an improved defender. Things like Javelin missiles have two-stage tandem warheads that send hypersonic metal beams against the target. The improved weapons require improved counteractions. One of those counteractors is a laser weapon, which can destroy incoming missiles and ammunition over long distances. 

Laser weapons are the next-generation tools against grenades, drones, and low-flying aircraft. Laser weapons can also cut holes in the ship's hulls and the thing that makes laser weapons so interesting is simple. It gives also small-size crafts the ability to make fatal damage to large ships. 

If a laser cuts a slit in the ship's bow that kind of damage will be fatal if the ship must run at high speed. The Ukraine war has shown how difficult is to protect targets against drones. Even simple, straight-flying drones are difficult to defend. The drone itself is an easy target but when there are coming tens or hundreds of them. 



At the same time, the air defense cannot let any of them go through which means it requires lots of ammunition. And one purpose of those drones is to force the enemy to use their AA ammunition against them. The AI-based drones can take evasive actions and they are harder targets than those simple and cheap drones. 

The Ukrainian surface kamikaze drones are also effective tools. They can destroy or damage large ships. The problem is that things like Russia and terrorists notice that thing, and they wish to make their own versions of that tool. Maybe in the future, those drones also can operate underwater. That gives them the ability to attack the surface and underwater at the same time. 



The fact is that. Those drones can equipped with GPS-guided antitank missiles that can also be deadly against targets in the harbor area. And those kamikaze drones can attack against equipment loaded on the quay and then try to destroy ships. And that kind of target requires counter-weapons that can react very fast. And laser is suitable for that role. 

The only thing that limits the number of shots is the energy supply. Laser weapons are the same tools that are used in metal factories for cutting metal plates. And that means the laser systems can just cut off the wings of flying drones.  The aircraft, equipped with a laser weapon can use that weapon against incoming missiles. 



Protective laser weapons installed in high-flying platforms like stratospheric aircraft and airships can protect them against incoming missiles. The same lasers can also be used against enemy aircraft. 

Lasers are also double-used tools. The same lasers, used as weapons against aircraft and ships can be used as communication tools. The thing that changes laser from a communication tool to a weapon is the power, that the laser system uses. Lasers are tools that can protect satellites against ASAT weapons. And when people talk about laser satellites or "killer satellites", they mean satellites made to destroy other satellites. 

Lasers can offer communication and weapon tools against traditional missiles. But the arms race is a race between ultimate attackers and ultimate defenders. 

But the problem is that missiles can also equipped with microwave warheads. In those systems, the missile carries a magnetron that sends microwaves ahead of it. That kind of electromagnetic warhead can use a windmill generator as a power supply. And then in the final moment, explosives press the battery to make high-power radiation impulse. The purpose of the electromagnetic warheads is to shut down the target's computers and destroy its electric systems.

Quantum compass and next generation navigation


Kimmo Huosionmaa

The vulnerabilities of GPS systems have been noticed, and that system has many weaknesses. The use of satellites makes it vulnerable to ASAT (Anti Satellite)-missiles, and another kind of weapons. That's why the military forces of the world are looking for the replacement for GPS. Even if the new systems, what bases the jumping frequencies are more immune to jamming than old systems, the replacement, what does not need satellites are now under the development.

Quantum compass might replace the GPS because it's immune to jamming systems. The major weaknesses of the GPS are the system uses satellites for giving the position of the point. And this is why GPS is quite easy to jam, and the other weaknesses are that the system cannot be used in underground or EMP-protected places.

Also, northern lights are disturbing that device, because they form ion layer in the top of the atmosphere. This means that the operators, who use GPS must find another way to locate themselves. The answer in submarines has been to use the Inertial navigation system, what connects the information of the speed of the thing, what uses that system, and the gyroscope meters the direction of the ship or aircraft.  In modern gyroscopes, the layer would lay in the magnetic field, and it is rotating like in the electric motors. The lasers would observe the direction and positioning of that magnetic plate, what reacts extreme sharply in any changes in direction of the system.

By using this information can the computer map the position, if the beginning point of the journey is known in the vehicle. This navigation system can map the entire route of the navigated thing. But this system requires the begin location for mapping, or it is useless. This is the problem with this system. Also, the problem is to make it enough small that person can carry it in the pocket, and the need of speed information makes this thing hard to use in ground vehicles.  Setting the beginning point of navigation is also difficult if the person jumps by using a parachute, where the beginning point is hard to locate.

The answer for the problem could be the very sharp magnetic compass, what bases technology, where the layer is floating in the magnetic field, and the multiple lasers are observing the position of that thing. The new kind of systems might be the combination, where is magnetic and gyro compass working together. Those systems might be very small and that would make them very light and effective.

The magnetic version of this compass works with a similar principle with normal magnetic compass, and the system calculates the place of the system by using the angle of the north pole for locating the system. The difference between the Inertial navigation system is that the plate must be in a stable position. There would be extremely thin magnet nail on it, and that makes possible to locate the magnetic north pole very sharply.

If those systems are based with nanotechnology, where the plates are extremely thin, and the width will be the only couple of micrometers and the size is smaller than coin or even the thumbtacks, the system would be extremely small. But of course, the operator needs more information and one is the knowledge about where the system is. So the operator must put the state or some coordinates, where he might be, that the computer can locate the person. This might be the next generation locating system.

New alloys and graphene. They can revolutionize thermal control.
