China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) appears to be moving beyond traditional antennas, turning to quantum sensing to pick up weak radio signals from “tens of kilometers” away.
The PLA shared details of a compact “quantum radio” prototype weighing just over 3 kilograms (6.6 pounds), which was recently tested in a region north of the Great Wall.
Despite being smaller than conventional radio receivers, the quantum-enabled device reportedly matches the performance of comparable systems while remaining light and portable enough for a single soldier to carry and deploy in the field.
