LI²GHT

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

A mass of technobabble which fails Verifiability. To be honest I have trouble working out what it is actually about. Transmitting qubits across a room using UHF? Using visible light? Accurate and agile sensing? Wireless energy transfer? Eliminating internal data bottlenecks caused by the inter-processor communication and internal bandwidth limitations?

I would like to nominate Quantum LI²GHT Channel at the same time since it seems to be the same article.

Particular problems I have with the article are

1. No good references except to articles about "white space", which is just unallocated bits of RF spectrum. Nothing about the actual subject of the article - no good references to SkyTech international/interactive found, or LI²GHT.

2. "invisible, Infra Green, Blue and Red laser diodes to turn the electricity into optical energy that cannot be detected in an everyday setting"

These are apparently colours you can't see. Not like normal red, blue and green then. So where does UHF radio waves come into it? I know what infra red is, but infra green? Fortunately it gets a mention in the List of fictional elements, materials, isotopes and atomic particles article.

3. The two photos are not SkyTech Quantum LI²GHT Channel Experiments, as their captions suggest. The captions on the images themselves are:


 * "A military scientist operates a laser in a test environment. The Directorate conducts research on a variety of solid-state and chemical lasers."


 * "Three green lasers are seen emanating from facilities at the Starfire Optical Range on Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico. Lasers and deformable optics are used here to eliminate or minimize optical distortions caused by the Earth’s atmosphere."

4. It uses a "laser projectors (or free-space holographic projector for that matter)", but works on a UHF band? Uh? A free-space holographic projector?

ps. You can get through the flash movie at the front of their website by going to http://www.skytech-interactive.com/welcome.php Jll (talk) 12:13, 6 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete: WP:G11, WP:NOTADVERTISING, WP:PRODUCT. This looks like an elaborate promotion of a non-notable commercial product. The article's references don't mention the subject and Google Web returns nothing but primary sources. — Rankiri (talk) 13:05, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
 * This also applies to Quantum LI²GHT Channel—the pages are nearly identical. — Rankiri (talk) 13:22, 6 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete both per G3. Hoax: among other things, the images don't match up with the captions, (already noted by nom) and the quote "it is vacuously true that 0 is an achievable rate for any channel" is pretty hilarious. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:03, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
