‘Ghost’ Photos through Quantum Physics

I thought this was very interesting.

The camera collects photons from the light sources that did not hit the object, but are paired through a quantum effect with others that did. An image of the toy begins to appear after approximately a thousand pairs of photons are recorded.”

That's an astonishing story! I'm still trying to wrap my head around the details.

Basically, it's a way of looking at objects through cloud cover or other obstructions using photons that are connected at a quantum level. I'm surprised that it works, actually.

Just to be clear, though: it doesn't really photograph ghosts, as far as we know. :)

That is simply amazing!

BUT! Is it "full spectrum".

Just kidding, but it is amazing.

Double tap to the head. Don't become Undead.
