Abstract

This study focuses on the innovative field of quantum synchronization for satellite-based navigation systems including Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs) and the Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) component of future 6G networks integrating both communication and navigation services.

By combining a four-qubit system with the theoretical approach of the Lindblad master equation, we transcend the inherent limits of standard synchronization techniques. This achievement represents a quantum leap in satellite-based positioning, highlighting the scalability and cost-effectiveness of our technique for smaller satellites. The study demonstrates the possibility of reducing synchronization errors to less than one meter, significantly improving the reliability and precision of satellite-based navigation systems.

The results of this study may contribute to the future development of both user-centric localization systems (typically GNSS systems) and network-centric localization systems (typically through the NTN component of 6G networks), leading to better positioning performance, more flexible multi-functional systems with the potential to limit both cost and size of satellites.

通过量子同步增强卫星定位功能

通过将四量子比特系统与林德布拉德主方程的理论方法相结合，我们超越了标准同步技术的固有限制。这一成果代表了卫星定位技术的质的飞跃，凸显了我们的技术对于小型卫星的可扩展性和成本效益。这项研究表明，有可能将同步误差降低到一米以下，从而显著提高星基导航系统的可靠性和精确度。这项研究的结果可能有助于未来以用户为中心的定位系统（通常是全球导航卫星系统）和以网络为中心的定位系统（通常是通过 6G 网络的 NTN 组件）的发展，从而带来更好的定位性能和更灵活的多功能系统，并有可能限制卫星的成本和尺寸。
