Quantum positioning

Seems the Royal Navy successfully tested a quantum positioning system.

https://thequantuminsider.com/2023/0...est-a-success/

"The Royal Navy has successfully conducted the inaugural trial of a quantum navigation system capable of determining a vessel’s precise location worldwide, without reliance on GPS."

Given the jamming of GPS in the Ukraine and else where, this is going to be interesting to watch.

Re: Quantum positioning

Hand held QNS coming to a chandlers near you. Bet it will be expensive.


There are some very clever people in this world. It is a sad that such innovation is lead by man's potential for conflict.

Re: Quantum positioning

Yer wot?
'The Royal Navy is considered history’s greatest global navigators and early adopters of navigational technology. Now, Sky News is reporting that the Royal Navy is taking that historic legacy into the quantum era.'
