For the sake of my own understanding, is the statement

"The answer is that gravity doesn’t affect light at all, but it does affect atoms."

just a simplification for the sake of the article? I was under the impression gravity *does* affect light by warping spacetime. Is this an "indirect" effect?

Not a quantum sensor, but neutrino detector (especially liquid Argon TPC types) being deployed for HEP have the ability to measure the neutrino spectrum from nuclear reactors from tens to hundreds of miles away.

Early (public) proof of principle experiments show the ability to detect when reactors are refueled or modified. So in principle, you can tell where another country's nuclear reactors are and what they are used for, in real-time, from another country.
