These quantum compasses are pretty cool, but they are not a GPS replacement. They are a more accurate version of an IMU to use for dead reckoning. They will still drift over time.
I'm guessing that once these are put in production, they will be about 1 order of magnitude better, which is still a significant improvement, but not a "quantum leap" so to speak.
Also, an electronic/physical device that "doesn't drift over time" is a device that hasn't been tested for long enough.
