Detecting Hidden Signals
In a new paper, a Johns Hopkins APL research team explained how they applied two theoretical tools of quantum information to extremely sensitive signal detection tasks. Their research suggests that honing this sensitivity to detect signals while rejecting background noise will enable the use of quantum detectors even when this surrounding noise is strong relative to the signal of interest.
