Quantum Communication Communicating Atomic Time

Measuring time is a bit more involved when responsible for, say, Global Positioning Satellite (GPS), timing. A number of scientists are posing the idea of using quantum communication techniques to more accurately – and quickly – transfer atomic time between satellites and other timing systems. It is done through bypassing the classical computer conversions of numbers and data – in a simple sense.
