[Interview] How Quantum Coronagraphs Will Help Us See Earth-Like Planets Around Sun-Like Stars

Our current tech doesn't allow us to block light from Sun-like stars to see Earth-like planets. The brightness difference is just too high. One of the ways we can achieve it is with quantum coronagraphs. What are they and how do they work? Finding out in this interview. 👉 [Interview+] Bonus Part. No YT ads.
