Neutrinos are fascinating tools in rocketry and quantum computers, but the problem is that they are hard to get.




 

"The first use of a hydrogen bubble chamber to detect neutrinos, on 13 November 1970, at Argonne National Laboratory. Here a neutrino hits a proton in a hydrogen atom; the collision occurs at the point where three tracks emanate on the right of the photograph." (Wikipedia, Neutrino)

Neutrinos are fascinating tools in rocketry and quantum computers, but the problem is that they are hard to get.

Neutrinos are fascinating particles. They are so-called "light fermions", which means they are quite similar to electrons. There are hypothetically two types of neutrinos. The "active" and "sterile" (or passive) neutrinos. The last ones are not detected yet, and that hypothetical particle is one of the candidates for the dark matter, but the fact is that this thing requires confirmation.

The neutrino is anyway very weakly interacting particle, which has seemed to interact in the LHC (Large Hadron Collider). The fact is that neutrino has the mass, and but it can travel through the planets if it would not hit with quark inside the proton. The neutrons are observing in the extremely cold water pools deep inside the mountains.

So when the neutrino hits to water, it will send the blue light shock wave, and that shockwave or Cherenkov radiation is detected by using the light cells. The fact is that the neutrinos are fascinating particles because they are hard to make react. There is introduced that neutrinos are used as the exhaust gas in the rocket engines.

Neutrinos could improve the thrust of the photon rocket.

That thing can make the system travel with the speed of light and they can use along with photons in a photon rocket, but the thrust of neutrinos is stronger because the mass of the neutrino is bigger. But one of the things, that neutrinos can make is that those mysterious particles can be used as the qubit or high-speed data transporter in quantum computers.

The quantum computer would load data to the neutrinos, which are acting as a qubit. The weak interaction guarantees that the data that travels in the neutrino qubit is safe. The interaction with the other particles or wave movement causes that the qubit is losing its information. The neutrino qubit can travel in the laser-ray, which protects it against the outcoming effects.

Neutrino is not interacting with the magnetic field, and that means it's easier to aim at the target than the electron. The magnetic field would not change the trajectory of the neutrino. In that kind of hypothetical system, the other laser is sending the light with frequency, which interacts with neutrino and makes its energy level rising. And then the second laser will protect the neutrino, while it travels in the quantum bridge, that is formed by using the laser. The problem with this system is that they require neutrinos. And creating those particles is problematic.

That requires conditions, that are similar to the nucleus of the sun. So producing neutrinos require a stable fusion reactor. Or researchers can try to capture natural neutrinos from the neutrino detectors, but that thing is the expensive and slow method to get those particles. Fully functional quantum computers require that there are lots of neutrinos, and the source of them must be stable.

In quantum computers is the entangled photons, which are transporting data over the quantum bridge. If the photons are replaced by using neutrinos, the effect of the gravity waves on that system is weaker. The use of entangled and superpositioned photons eliminates mostly the effect of the magnetic fields.

But the problem is that photons are so lightweight that the gravity waves are affecting those connections. So the use of neutrinos can solve many problems. But before researchers can use that particle, they must know more about it.

And of course, the production of neutrinos must make sure, and by using modern existing technology that process is very expensive. In nature, neutrinos are forming in the nuclear reactions of stars. So producing them there is needed a fusion reactor. The other way is to collect them from nature.

But capturing neutrino is very difficult. And then the particle must aim in a certain direction, and make interacting in the certain moment, that it can release its data in the right moment for the sensor.
