Throughout the podcast, the trio discuss how quantum technology works, before explaining how it can be used to revolutionise the future battlefield from radio frequency (RF) sensing to precision navigation and timing (PNT).

They then discuss how Australian researchers have become world leaders in this field and how we can expand the quantum industry.
