There are quantum mechanics in antennas:

It's even amplified.

More realistically:
"Superconducting quantum antenna"

Apparently it uses a quantum screen to generate fringing. That's
common at infrared but I haven't seen it used to focus RF. I can't
tell if it's for real. I'll get brain damage from trying to read this
stuff after midnight. Tomorrow...


Jeff:

Another good point, I avoid patents in my searches!

In the google search box, I always include the search terms "-patents"
and "-patent" (minus the double quotes) ... that is the type of stuff
(silly patents) which just accelerates my insane questions to
unfathomable limits!

Heck, I can't even tell the "silly" ones (patents) from the "real" ones
.... indeed, I strongly suspect I am a poor one to judge!

LOL!
