Due to high metal and petroleum prices and increased difficulties in finding shallower deposits, the exploration for and exploitation of mineral resources is expected to move to greater depths. Consequently, seismic methods will become a more important tool to help unravel structures hosting mineral deposits at great depth for mine planning and exploration. These methods also can be used with varying degrees of success to directly target mineral deposits at depth. Quantum interference is a principle of quantum mechanics that deals with analyzing particle-wave nature subatomic particles, especially concepts like photon interference and duality of light. This theoretical concept has aided in practically determining solutions for materials of superconductivity, “they have simulated a working molecular thermoelectric material capable of turning heat into electricity”.4Furthermore, quantum mechanics provides highly precise efficiency and accuracy in measuring and analyzing techniques. Designing the Unmanned Airborne Vehicle (UAVs) equipped with the applications of quantum interference can help us achieve precise data and measurements for navigation and seismic studies. Currently, seismic ships are into practical usage for gathering data, which are then transferred from the collection unit to the processing center and gets manipulated into 3D designs for detailed analysis. However, a quantum UAV can posses a capability to gather data more precisely and at a relatively higher precision rate in comparison to seismic ships. Quantum computing in an UAV will enable real time processing of seismic and navigational data into 3D models for analysis.
