Personally I find quantum computers really impressive, and they havent been given its righteous hype.

I know they won't be something everyone has in their house but it will greatly improve some services.

This is their only product on the market which has quantum in their product description. It apparently uses "quantum sensors" to provide location information. I don't know how it works. I think they have made a hard shift in their strategy in the last 2 years by offering AI solutions instead.

Edit: From their Youtube comment

The core system of AQNav is a suite of quantum sensors that reads the crustal magnetic field of the Earth, along with proprietary AI algorithms that work to de-noise that signal and provide real-time location information. That's a very different process, compared to inertial navigation systems
