Gravitational Wave Communication: Can You Actually Use Spacetime Ripples to Send a Message?
A lab emitter radiates 10⁻²⁷ watts. LIGO detects black hole mergers at 10⁴⁹ watts. That 76-order gap is why gravitational wave communication is TRL 1.
Quantum
Quantum Inertial Navigation for GNSS-Denied Environments: Can BEC and Cold-Atom Interferometry Replace GPS?
Not yet in full. Quantum clocks and gravimeters are already on submarines. A complete BEC-based IMU to replace GPS is 7 to 10 years out at minimum.
