Quantum computing is an innovation that promises to revolutionize how computers will work in the future. But at this early stage of the technology's development, it's still rare to find it doing anything faster than what can be done with conventional computing technologies, much less doing anything more impressive than what today's computers can do.
That state of affairs is starting to change. In the following video, physicist Ben Miles finds an application where a quantum computing system is not only better than conventional computing technology, it's breakthrough application is much closer to being deployed to perform a useful task in the real world than you might have believed.
The potential to replace today's satellite based Global Positioning System (GPS) for navigation is a major step forward for the technology. That the development is being driven by a growing need to defeat GPS-spoofing electronic warfare technologies will speed the development and adoption of these new quantum computing systems.
