Haha losers this tech app is mine Name: Quantum Communication Description: Quantum devices can vary in shape and design. But they can be encased within a device the size of a tennis ball. This size increases proportionately depending on the number of /pairs/ the device is connected to. Abilities: - The device is capable of transmitting information instantaneously to another device. It is undetectable and unblockable by normal means. Conditional abilities (optional): - It can communicate even through Aegisalt. This is because it does not send a signal that could be blocked. - The communication can not be blocked - The communication cannot be intercepted, at least not between the particles. - It is undetectable when these devices communicate, other than the objects themselves being active as an electronic device. Limitations: - This communication is one-way per pair. The proton sends to the anti-proton. There needs to be two pairs for a two-way communication. And that is just between TWO devices. - Quantum communication networks are EXPENSIVE. One pair can cost upwards of 5k Osidans if purchased. They can still cost up to 2k Osidans per pair when homemade, but it requires the knowledge to create the proton-antiproton pair - as well as the two cases to hold the pairs that read and write from the pair. - Just like any other electronic device, an EMP will destroy the exposed device. - If one of the two devices containing a particle from a pair is destroyed, both particles are lost. This would require completely recreating another pair of devices to fix. - Quantum Communication devices require an occasional 'recharge' of entangled particles between the paired devices, averaging a recharge once every two months given a standard amount of use. However, if the comms are being used extensively, these recharges can be required every couple weeks. Conditional limitations (optional): N/A How does it work: The proton and the antiproton are the same particle, but in two places. The communicate in binary code via ionizing the proton at hundreds of intervals per second. Since the antiproton reflects what has happened to the proton, it thus is ionized at the same times as the proton. Information is read off of the antiproton in binary. Flavor text: Quantum communication in an idea played around with in science-fiction. It's main attraction is the instantaneous, untraceable, and unblockable communication. However it's biggest downfall is that it requires two pairs in order to have a two-way communication between just TWO sources. It is possible to have a series of devices with dual-pair communications with a central network, which reads information from the remote devices and communicates between them. But that's just more complicated. The science behind Quantum Pairs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pair_production (It'd appear as sciency mumbo jumbo to most people that bother to look at it, though) Referenced Technologies (optional): N/A Attainability: [Open] A person would have to have the know-how in order to assemble these devices, which also requires quite the hefty workshop. It is most tricky when creating the proton-antiproton pair. However, for a greater price, one could purchase pairs of these devices at a steep cost. Tags: [Civilian]
