Quantum Astronomy - Hundred Km Wide Telescopes

Quantum Astronomy - Hundred Km Wide Telescopes

In 2019, the world was captivated by the first image of a black hole—a feat achieved by turning the entire Earth into one giant radio telescope. But why haven't we done the same with optical light to see the surfaces of distant stars?

This episode explores the "technical wall" that separates radio astronomy from optical observation. We dive into the massive logistics of "shipping starlight" via cargo planes and the physical limits of traditional interferometers.

Discover why optical light is so "slippery," how the Earth's atmosphere scrambles incoming wavefronts, and why the next great leap in space observation won't come from bigger mirrors, but from the strange rules of quantum mechanics.

Join us as we go on a forensic journey of the sky to solve the crisis of the optical telescope.
