While most people associate quantum technology with futuristic computers, the Colorado-based company Infleqtion is betting that the first major quantum breakthrough to reach the real world could instead happen in radio-frequency (RF) sensing—the technology behind GPS, radar, wireless communication, aircraft navigation, and military surveillance.
The company recently unveiled a new atom-based approach to
detecting radio signals that could eventually replace parts of conventional antenna systems. They named this approach Quantum Spectrum
