Quantum tracing

Quantum tracing is a theory first put forward in the early day of the QIA; scientists speculated that every time someone Jumps, they leave a unique residual quantum energy signature that can be detected, if one knows how to look for it. Though it was unproven, a radical theory nonetheless emerged, supposing that if you could detect this quantum energy, you could – in theory – not only use the Eye to locate an individual with quantum potential, but also Jump immediately to the time and place they were currently inhabiting.
Despite this only being theoretical, Jack Harringer suggested to the London Field Team in September 2020 that Brent Hall had been pursuing this topic, and that that was the reason he had arranged for tracking devices to be implanted on both Aleksander Volkov and Tom Burt, so that he might further study the effects of quantum shifts. ("Ted")
It later transpired that Hall had indeed perfected the idea, which he used (in conjunction with artificial Natural powers imbued on him by injecting himself with tempraxine) to pursue Sarah Cunnington through time and space. ("Death")
Three years later, the team attempted to acquire Hall's quantum trace research, but failed thanks to Lucita Cadamon ("Athens"). Undeterred by this , Ethan Taylor later created a device that utilised quantum tracing, which Iulya Dalca then used, in conjunction with Google Maps, to locate him after he was taken captive by Brandon Wood. ("Iulya")
