Quantum radio can halve the mass of interplanetary communication hardware by swapping bulky transmitters for entangled photons, meaning more science payload per launch. In practice, it replaces a kilogram-heavy microwave system with a few gram photon source while keeping bandwidth intact. What is Quantum Radio and Why It Matters? In
