The article covers:
- Why non-quantum-based sensors may lose position accuracy over time
- The early history of quantum theory
- What interferometry is and how it is applied to quantum mechanics
- The challenges involves in developing quantum sensor technology
- How fusing the outputs from quantum sensors with classical MEMS, FOG or RLG inertial sensors can help overcome these challenges
- The future of quantum sensor technology for applications such as high-grade navigation
