Since ancient times, man has used two ways to navigate at sea, on land and later in the air, and these two methods are compass and maps, before satellites were introduced to provide navigation using GPS during the last century, which has become important in our lives through civilian uses in navigation at sea, in the air and on land, and for military purposes in peaceful days during maneuvers, and in war days by identifying targets for both parties .

The GPS system, despite its usefulness, has disadvantages, it recorded facts in war situations by jamming its civilian and military users, in addition to the weak signal under the ground in tunnels as well as under the water surface of some ships and submarines, as well as people can be tracked during the war as well as the missiles fired to refer to all of them and target them .
What the developed countries are thinking about is finding an alternative to this system, and indeed, years ago, those countries began working on the Quantum navigation system to be used with the support of artificial intelligence to help ships, aircraft and cars, especially self-driving cars, to reach their destination without interference or signal weakness and monitoring by any direction tracking the path, as well as for the warring countries, this system protects aircraft and missiles from tracking, jamming and signal weakness to reach the target with complete accuracy.
How quantum navigation works?
Very briefly it is generally based on the cooling of a cloud of atoms close to absolute zero, at this temperature, the cloud of atoms shows quantum coherence, which means that the positions of each atom are related to each other, and a laser is used to split the cloud into a quantum superposition, where the cloud is directed to head to two different paths at the same time, then these two branches of superposition cause recombination, and the resulting quantum interference is measured. Interference occurs due to a difference in the lengths of the paths traveled by each branch (cloud) of the overlay due to the acceleration and/or rotation of the sensor, which is very sensitive, allowing accurate measurements to be recorded, and then data is formed during the movement of the navigation tool using servers and quantum computers using qubit by giving an accurate value for each movement associated with the place, and this is not done by ordinary computers, not even high-speed ones that use a bit value of 0 or 1, as well as by resorting to artificial intelligence to modify the paths the value of each movement is known through the force of gravity then provided by these sensors ,and this model will be inside the navigation vehicle with a quantum computer, helping it to reach its goal using those logarithmic calculations through artificial intelligence programs.For example, the submarine compares the results of its gravity scale with the data from the gravity map to determine its location under the sea.
China has made great strides in quantum navigation and recently conducted a test launch of missiles from warships without using GPS that accurately hit their targets without monitoring those ships.
In addition to the use of self-driving cars for quantum navigation, it is known as atomic Quantum Navigation, where some European countries, the United States, China and India have begun to conduct successful experiments on it.
The accelerated technological development in the world puts developing countries in front of many challenges, whether in war or in peace, in war those countries will not be able to fight their wars if the GPS system is canceled and they will not be able to conduct their own means of transportation inside their countries, at least because Quantum navigation will replace the GPS navigation system.
