Cruise missiles and drones could use this.
It sounded interesting, but I was thinking it would have been through quantum entanglement. Then I thought about the measurement paradox and realized I am not a quantum physicist.
Accelerometer navigation would be next to worthless without major computational power, and the device is hardly portable, so this seems to be a solution that is as complicated and fallible as the GPS system it is intended to replace.
Lots of application.
The first model has just been demonstrated in the lab.
It will likely shrink down, but it does require high power.
Minature accelerometers have been used for decades already.
They fill in the gaps from GPS for smart weapons.
This one is so potentially accurate and reliable, it would not need the GPS.
Inertial navigation was used long before GPS.

Sounds like a Inertial Navigation System. I use to work on the old version of a INS back in the 80s. This would be a Quantum Inertial Navigation system.
Before GPS, a lot of Aircraft systems used INS for navigation.
I smile every time I read one of these kind of articles. Scientists never demonstrate any commercially viable anything. Scientists demonstrate a scientific concept ONCE and then turn it over to engineers, where the hard work begins. It is not as easy as scientists (physicists in particular) think it is to get something from concept to production. Doing it once is not the same as making it a million times, cost effectively.
Isn’t this what Leonard, Sheldon, and Howard were working on?
Sure sounds like it.
Maybe this is what happened to it when the military took it over.
Submarines would love this, since they can’t get GPS signal while submerged.
