Internet-based SuperGPS: Positioning and Timing over the Quantum Internet
As the quantum internet evolves from theory toward practical exploration, concrete use cases are beginning to take shape. In this webinar, we will examine one such use case: Internet-based SuperGPS, its motivation, its relevance, and its current state of development.
The session will start with an overview of the limitations of conventional satellite-based GPS, particularly in dense urban and obstructed environments where accuracy and reliability are critical. It will then introduce the SuperGPS concept, explaining how precise time synchronisation can be provided via terrestrial infrastructure and how quantum internet technologies make it possible to deliver this capability without relying on dedicated fibre-based time and frequency transfer networks.
To be led by Swaraj Shekhar Nande, researcher at TU Dresden, the webinar will outline the technical foundations of Internet-based SuperGPS, discuss its maturity as a quantum internet use case, and highlight where research efforts are focusing today. Attention will be given to the practical quantum advantage, namely the ability to deploy high-precision positioning services over shared, generic quantum internet infrastructure.
Participation is free, but registration is required and places are limited.
