Quantum Physicists Found a New, Safer Way to Navigate
GPS can be hacked, so airplanes and ships need a backup system. These quantum physicists think they have an answer.
For nearly five years, DiMario’s team has been building a prototype: a cylinder, about a foot long and six inches in diameter, containing a synthetic diamond cube barely larger than a salt crystal. At a National Institute of Standards and Technology lab in Colorado, physicist Azure Hansen is working on a quantum gyroscope for sensing rotational motion. NIST chemist Jay Hendricks has developed a pressure sensor that uses fundamental properties of helium atoms that airplane pilots could eventually use to measure altitude.
