A new quantum radar developed by a team of Chinese scientists could detect stealth aircraft creating a small electromagnetic storm, informs South China Morning Post.

Almost no aircraft can circumvent radars, as it reflects electromagnetic waves. However, a stealth plane exhibits low reflection to radar waves, making them cancel each other thanks to their design, which absorbs the signal.

According to the media, the Chinese invention, which has been developed by a team of scientists from Tsinghua University, will have a design in the shape of pistol, unusual for traditional radars, which will allow you to accelerate electrons to a speed similar to light.

Once the radar is activated, the electrons pass through a tube where an extremely strong magnetic field is applied to them, generating a microwave vortex that will travel like a horizontal tornado. The researchers found that the spiral momentum affecting the particles did not decrease with time or distance, which, according to them, is explained by the law of quantum physics, despite being physically impossible according to Albert Einstein.

The new radar, which will operate in the microwave range, instead of using a laser beam that gets weaker with distance, you could detect targets that are invisible to traditional radars from long distance or in unfavorable weather conditions. As the scientists explain, particles with quantum properties in normal microwaves must be generated by means of a high-voltage superconducting electron accelerator.

For now, the researchers have already piloted a prototype on a reduced scale, while continuing to seek industrial partners to build a full-size radar.
