Quantum navigation is an exciting new technique which is based on the principles of quantum mechanics to improve ways of navigation and tracking of positions. Traditional GPS tracks its location through satellite signals but it is vulnerable to interferences or loss of signals, while; quantum navigation gains its precision by the behavior of the atomic particles.

Quantum sensors which can be based on atomic clocks as on quantum gyroscopes allow determining changes in the gravity field of the Earth or in the rotational movement with the highest precision which is imperatively required in_submenu_marine applications as in subterranean environments where conventional GPS solutions can not be used at all.

This technology has the benefit of revolutionizing fields such as aviation and maritime sectors or military use when the more conventional systems fail to deliver the levels of accuracy this technology is capable of.

However, as the studies in quantum technologies progress, quantum navigation is set to form the basis of a new wave of transport and space missions.
