A quantum device that can determine its position in three dimensions is more accurate than non-quantum versions. Vehicles could use it to navigate even if GPS stopped working. One way to keep track of ...

The "spooky action at a distance" that once unnerved Einstein may be on its way to being as pedestrian as the gyroscopes that currently measure acceleration in smartphones. Quantum entanglement ...

A prototype quantum sensor with potential applications in GPS-free navigation, developed at Imperial College London, has been tested in collaboration with the Royal Navy. The test marks an important ...

For decades, GPS has been the backbone of modern navigation, guiding everything from airplanes to food delivery drivers. But a breakthrough in quantum technology is set to challenge its dominance.

Most navigation today relies on a global navigation satellite system (GNSS), such as GPS, which sends and receives signals from satellites orbiting the Earth. An alternative – the quantum ...

Researchers affiliated with the Q-NEXT quantum research center show how to create quantum-entangled networks of atomic clocks and accelerometers—and they demonstrate the setup's superior, ...

The quantum accelerometer has been developed by Imperial College London. (Imperial College London) A prototype quantum sensor device developed by Imperial College London completed the first period of ...

On June 30, 2022, the European Commission selected the CARIOQA-PMP (Cold Atom Rubidium Interferometer in Orbit for Quantum Accelerometry – Pathfinder Mission Preparation) project as part of the ...
