Again the title of the press release is horrible misleading (or completely wrong). The title of the research article is

"Prospects for magnetic field communications and location using quantum sensors."

As the research article title says, it's not a "Quantum Radio" (What is a "quantum radio"?!?!). It's a quantum sensor to measure old classical electromagnetic waves of low frequency.

(Also there are many quantum devices, a LED is a quantum lamp and a led in reverse is a quantum light detector. There are many many applications of QM to sensors. Anyway, this new sensor looks interesting.)
