Quantum Cores

Proven Quantum Hardware

Quantum experiments demand precision across vacuum, optics, magnetics, atom delivery, and control. Quantum Cores bring those critical layers together in ready-to-use components and preassembled platforms, helping teams shorten the path from setup to useful experimental work.

Select the integration level that fits your lab, from individual ultra-high vacuum (UHV) components to preassembled systems for magneto-optical trap (MOT) and ultracold atom experiments.

Build at the Level You Need

  • Start with UHV glass cells and cold atom sources when your apparatus calls for maximum configuration freedom.

  • Move to preassembled MOT and ultracold atom platforms when faster deployment is the priority.

  • Complete the setup with matched optics, magnet assemblies, beam delivery, documentation, and applications support.

Advantages

Simplify Quantum Experiment Setup

Spend less time rebuilding subsystems and more time testing ideas, training students, and advancing research.

  • Reduce Setup Work

    Preassembled systems and matched subsystems help your team avoid rebuilding the vacuum, optics, magnetic-field, and atom-delivery foundations of every experiment.

  • Protect Flexibility

    Choose components, subsystems, or integrated platforms. Configure elements, wavelengths, coatings, optics, and accessories around the experiment.

  • Train on Real Systems

    Compact MOT platforms give students practical experience with lasers, optics, vacuum, controls, and cold atom physics in a teaching lab.

  • Work With Quantum Experts

    Use product documentation, manuals, and Infleqtion applications support to plan integration, select options, and move confidently into experiments.

Applications

Quantum Research and Education

Built around one platform, offering multiple paths across quantum research, teaching, and prototyping.

  • Teaching Labs

    Give students hands-on experience with lasers, optics, vacuum systems, controls, MOTs, and cold atom physics on compact lab hardware.

  • Fundamental Physics

    Create and manipulate neutral and ultracold atoms for experiments in atomic physics, quantum matter, and matter-wave phenomena.

  • Bose-Einstein Condensate Research

    Use RuBECi’s atom-chip architecture and compatible optics to support rapid BEC production, imaging, and ultracold atom manipulation.

  • Quantum Sensing

    Build cold atom testbeds for research into atom interferometry, timing, inertial sensing, and other precision-measurement concepts.

  • Quantum Computing

    Build neutral atom experiments, optical tweezer research, and quantum information testbeds with vacuum and atom delivery hardware.

  • Ion-Trap Research

    Use compact or cryogenic UHV housings with clean trap surfaces and optical access for trapped-ion experiments and device integration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Infleqtion Quantum Cores are ready-to-use components and systems for dispensing, trapping, cooling, and manipulating atoms or ions. The portfolio includes ultrahigh-vacuum glass cells, cold atom source cells, magneto-optical trap systems, optics platforms, magnetic assemblies, and ion-trap packages. These products let teams start from proven experimental infrastructure instead of building every subsystem from scratch.

Quantum Cores are designed for university laboratories, government research programs, quantum startups, established technology companies, and educators. They support work in quantum computing, sensing, timing, networking, standards, and fundamental atomic physics. Buyers range from teams creating a first magneto-optical trap to experienced groups integrating a custom neutral atom platform.

A magneto-optical trap, or MOT, combines laser light and magnetic fields to slow and confine neutral atoms. Infleqtion offers compact systems such as miniMOT V2 for accessible trapped-atom operation, plus doubleMOT, RuBECi, Physics Platform, Picas, cells, and coil assemblies for more configurable experiments. The right combination depends on atom species, flux, optical access, vacuum, and experimental goals.

Yes, selected systems are designed to support Bose-Einstein condensate, or BEC, production when paired with the required lasers, optics, controls, and experimental sequence. RuBECi integrates an atom chip for rapid BEC production, while other products provide cold atom sources, vacuum, trapping, imaging, and optical infrastructure. Users should confirm the complete configuration and performance requirements with Infleqtion.

Start with the atom or ion species, target state or experiment, required optical access, vacuum level, atom flux, available lab space, and desired degree of customization. Teams seeking rapid setup may prefer a preassembled MOT system, while advanced programs may combine cells, sources, optics, and magnetic components. Infleqtion provides data sheets, manuals, and application guidance to help define the system.
