Infleqtion, the world’s quantum information company, today announced that its miniMOT V2, a compact off-the-shelf trapped atom vacuum system, was recognized among the best by the 2023 Laser Focus World Innovators Awards. This recognition highlights the miniMOT V2’s significance in advancing quantum research, education, and workforce development.
Despite public market downturns, venture capital funding for quantum technology exploded over the last couple of years. Over $2 billion was invested in both 2021 and 2022, according to the Quantum Insider.
Infleqtion and QinetiQ, a leading defense company, are thrilled to announce their successful bid for the Quantum End-to-end Compilation for Combinatorial Optimisation (QECCO) project through Innovate UK.
The funding will support the development of a new type of optical atomic clock that far exceeds the accuracy and reliability of current Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS)-based systems.
Scott Faris, CEO of Infleqtion, joins Jill Malandrino on Nasdaq TradeTalks to discuss the quantum tech market and anticipated consolidation in the latter half of 2023.
Wisham’s extensive experience in implementing cutting-edge technologies for national security, including AI and data-enabled systems, will contribute to Infleqtion’s mission of advancing quantum technology for commercialization and enhancing national security capabilities.
One of the potential killer applications for quantum sensors is to create a device that can provide accurate navigation without using the GPS satellite system. For the military, this is an important goal since an adversary may try to block the GPS signals by jamming the radio signals or some other means.
The team demonstrated the world’s first software-configured, quantum-enabled high-performance accelerometer by combining machine learning with quantum sensing.
Cold atoms play a crucial role in advancing quantum technologies for precision timing, navigation, and sensing applications. A UC Santa Barbara team led by Daniel Blumenthal achieved a significant milestone by demonstrating a photonic-integrated MOT (PICMOT) using a photonic chip to deliver laser cooling beams with Infleqtion’s miniMOT.
