Quantum Double-Slit Experiment Offers Hope for Earth-Size Telescope
That animation at the top of the article of the possible locations of the photon is very cool. Quantum behavior seems so counterintuitive to us because we're just apes who evolved minds to survive in the macroscopic world of the African savanna. But I wonder if we perhaps taught quantum behavior to kids from an early age, whether they could get an intuitive understanding for it, in the the same way that I can, like, know what "feels" like the best move in Chess or something, without really being able to articulate why. That kind of intuitive feel for how something works usually leads to concrete logical understanding later on.
They should name this proposal "quantum sneakernet". It's pretty weird to imagine aliens light years away could have a constellation of quantum networked telescopes and be taking Google Maps-resolution photos of Earth.
Could this method be used to image exoplanets or is that still in the theoretical realm of the Solar gravitational lens[1]?
This reminds me of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_over_Avian_Carriers
You can simulate quantum effects with just polarized glasses.
What I really appreciated about this article was its clear explanation of how (quarks?) acts like a wave until it is observed and then acts like a particle.
I'm certainly interested in this, but for different reasons. Over the years, several people have bent my ears about Duane's theorem that suggests the double-slit experiment is not demonstrating quantum effects at all.
It strikes me that this could help establish or overturn such claims.

Any thoughts? Could it help to test it on a planet-sized scale?
I couldn't find via Ctrl+F, it sounds like this exceeds the Rayleigh Criterion, is that correct?
