World's first GPS-free quantum navigation trial succeeds at sea

Using quantum sensors, the company achieved ten times the accuracy of conventional satellite-based navigation systems, while maintaining the one nautical mile positioning accuracy.
Don’t we use GPS accurate to within centimeters for construction?

High-end dual-frequency receivers ($$$) can do this, yes. But the earth’s magnetic field is not controlled by any government or military entities. This is pretty big

I see what you mean. Yeah that’s pretty cool then. And I guess it might be impossible to jam quantum GPS.
