$\begingroup$ Woah, woah woah. Area 51 is abandoned. I didn’t by that alien crap but I thought they at least used it for tests? And does that mean Dr. Cyclops wasted 5 million dollars for nothing? $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ One huge flaw though, if you are saying that this tower is guarded greater than fort knox, its going to be obvious. The man power required would be a giveaway, and at least some of them are going to know what they are guarding, and eventually the news is going to get out. $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ @JamesTrotter It's a quantum vault. It is there and anywhere at any given moment, and only when observed by someone with knowledge of it can fix it in space-time for access. =P $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ @JamesTrotter Not really. Guards are for allowing access, and by definition we don't want anyone getting into the vault. Remember this gold isn't for handing round as coins, and even when trades happen, it never physically moves site. Embed the vault in 50ft of reinforced concrete on all sides including the door. 1" diameter pipes through the concrete into the vault can provide access for cameras, without providing access for people, and then monitoring can all be off-site. Add vibration sensors to detect drilling, and you're safe against anything except teleportation. $\endgroup$
