10 Revolutionary Stealth Technologies in Modern Naval Vessels
9. Quantum Stealth Technology

The front edge of naval invisibility systems is emerging quantum stealth technology. This ground-breaking method subatomicly controls light and electromagnetic waves by applying quantum mechanics ideas. While quantum sensors offer until unheard-of sensitivity in identifying possible hazards, advanced quantum materials and structures can produce "perfect" absorption of electromagnetic radiation over a large frequency range. Early uses of this still-developing technology have shown amazing ability in producing "invisible" surfaces that totally eradicate reflection and scattering of arriving radiation.
