Well, it turns out that the machinery to generate the signals would be very explicitly designed antenna structures that are put together in such a way as to prevent electromagnetic components from being transmitted. It's the detection part where the secret to the technology is because it turns out that, if electromagnetic signals aren't there, how are you going to detect such a signal?

Because all of our detectors are, you know, electromagnetic signal comes in and generates a current and whatever. Well, it turns out that the special kinds of signaling at the quantum level can only be detected by quantum devices. Quantum devices can detect signals these quantum communication signals, even if there's no electric and magnetic effects associated with them.

So that's what we're looking at. And so when I think about, okay, well, you know, what areas does this have application for? Well, of course, it's got a lot of application for things like communication and under conditions where you'd like to overcome shielding. But it may have something to do even with some of the consciousness stuff.

Because ordinarily, you know, when you hear about people trying to think, well, what about consciousness? Is it still just all molecules and neurons whirling around or are there some additional fields? There are a couple of physicists, well, a physicist and an anesthesiologist, the physicist Roger Penrose, he got a Nobel Prize for her general relativity stuff, and Stu Hameroff,

who is an anesthesiologist, they coupled up and started saying, okay, is there a possibility that there are quantum aspects in ordinary life, in ordinary consciousness? Because it sounds kind of reasonable. The anesthesiologist says, well, when I give somebody a certain anesthetic, they lose consciousness.

So there must be something about the anesthesia that grabs onto whatever's responsible for consciousness. So to make a long story short, they came up with a model where they felt that there are in fact quantum processes occurring within the brain that in addition to the stuff we all read about and know about, like neurons and all that kind of stuff,

there's also a distribution throughout our brain and nervous system of what's called microtubules. It turns out microtubules have such a structure you do experiments in lab to show this, that they can detect quantum signals. So the idea that even in our consciousness there are mechanisms for detecting quantum signals is like a whole new area to investigate.
