Quantum Proof of Location

Quantum location verification leverages entanglement principles to validate geospatial data with unprecedented accuracy. This experimental research presents a new framework for cryptographic location proofs using quantum-resistant algorithms.

Entanglement as Location Evidence

Quantum particles exhibit spatial properties that remain consistent across measurements, making them ideal for verifying position claims. Our experiments demonstrate that entangled photon pairs can establish verifiable location baselines with minimal latency.

Implementation Challenges

The primary obstacles include:

• Signal degradation in urban environments
• Latency limitations with current quantum sensors
• Interference from natural electromagnetic fields

function quantumLocationProve(position, accuracy) {
    const entangledPairs = generateEntangledPairs(accuracy);
    const measurements = {};
    
    entangledPairs.forEach(p => {
        const result = measureEntanglement(p);
        measurements[p.id] = {
            correlation: result.correlation,
            timestamp: result.timestamp,
            location: position
        };
    });
    
    return {
        proof: measurements,
        hash: crypto.createHash('sha256').update(JSON.stringify(measurements)).digest('hex')
    };
}

// Usage:
const locationProof = quantumLocationProve({lat: 47.6, lon: -122.3}, 0.01);
console.log(locationProof.hash);
