South China Morning Post: Could ghost imaging spy satellite be a game changer for Chinese military?
Scientists are developing a probe to track stealth bombers at night.
China is developing a new type of spy satellite using ghost imaging technology that could change the game of military cat and mouse within a decade, according to scientists involved in the project.
Existing camouflage techniques – from simple smoke bombs used to hide tanks or soldiers on battlefields to the hi-tech radar absorption materials on a stealth aircraft or warship – would be of no use against ghost imaging, physics experts said.
Quantum ghost imaging can achieve unprecedented sensitivity by detecting not just the extremely small amount of light straying off a dim target, but also its interactions with other light in the surrounding environment to obtain more information than traditional methods.

WNU Editor: A lot of speculation here. And if the Chinese are successful in developing this technology to detect and track stealth aircraft .... it will be a game-changer.
