With the inclusion of polarised lenses to enable the identifying of particles that take one route, they can force all of the photons that would pass around the soldier (if they took that direction) to show up on the camera first, allowing the sensor to build up a negative picture of the item. Its rather difficult to explain in detail, but with some background knowledge in the field of quantum erasers, you should be able to follow this explanation.

It was not created for military purposes but I'm sure the military will find it useful. It's really to bad that we always need to sign off on military applications. America never stops bringing war to the forefront. Let's enjoy science and forget about the military applications for a change. No the internet was created by scientists for scientists.

That said, maybe somebody who knows more about this than me can comment on the notion that it's necessary (or even possible) to pick a particular photon out of the crowd for this tech to work.

We don't have the technology to actually be able to figure out the particular connected photons that are required for this. If each photon is connected to the other, how can you tell which is which?
