| Feb 16, 2017 at 6:46 | comment | added | anna v | The interactions are too weak for anything like that to work. Only the on off of the beam is controllable, no correlations. One might manipulate the numbers of neutrinos in the beam but it will be too rough for amplitude modulation. Neutrinos do not make a macroscopic wave the way photons do | |
| Feb 16, 2017 at 5:44 | comment | added | Yashas | @annav I can come up with all sorts of methods. Use an electron neutrino as $1$ and muon neutrino as a $0$? How do we separate? I don't know. Moreover, muon neutrinos significantly outnumber the electron neutrionos. Or maybe use serial mode of communication, beam = 1, no beam = 0 in a single line. They tried using serial communication at Fermilab and they had an error of 1% and a baud rate of 0.1 bit/second and the distance the beam had to travel was just 240m of rock. I am not sure of any definitive method which would guarantee to work so I did not try to answer it. | |

| Feb 15, 2017 at 16:25 | comment | added | rob♦ | Good answer. Actually there are lots of functioning neutrino detectors apart from Kamiokande. You might be interested to read about "Ice Cube", an array of downward-facing light detectors in the glacier over the South Pole which detects neutrinos that have traveled through the Earth from the northern celestial hemisphere. There are also working neutrino detectors at Gran Sasso in Italy, and at the Soudan mine in the US, which detect accelerator-produced neutrinos which travel through a substantial thickness of Earth's crust. | |
