It was [[positronic brain|positron]] based, and had an output of two hundred gigawatts. The sub-assembly tolerances were isolated from the emitter algorithms, which was made possible by generating a stable flux between the [[positronic conductor]]s and renormalizing the tertiary wave functions.

The '''quantum beacon ''' was a device used by the [[Enterprise, NX-01]] [[crew]] to reveal [[Suliban]] [[Suliban stealth-cruiser|stealth-cruisers]].
It was [[positronic brain|positron]] based, and had an output of two hundred gigawatts. The sub-assembly tolerances were isolated from the emitter algorithms, which was made possible by generating a stable flux between the [[positronic brain|positronic conductors]] and renormalizing the tertiary wave functions. The [[quantum Mechanics|quantum engineering]] required to build it was beyond [[Star Fleet]]'s level; the necessary knowledge was provided by [[Crewman]] [[https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Daniels_(Crewman) Daniels]] to [[Captain]] [[Jonathan Archer]], who acquired the technical know-how to build them within a two-hour span. The beacons were temporarily installed on the [[grappler|grappling arm]], replacing the ship's usual clamps.
The beacons also proved useful against [[cloak|cloaked]] [[Romulan]] mines, but not [[Romulan Bird-of-Prey|Birds-of-Prey]].
