Key Terms
quantum sensingtechnical
Quantum sensing uses the unusual behavior of tiny particles to measure physical quantities—like magnetic fields, time, or motion—with far greater precision than conventional sensors. For investors, it matters because this leap in sensitivity can enable new products and markets (better medical imaging, navigation without GPS, or faster material testing), potentially creating high-growth opportunities for companies that commercialize reliable, scalable devices.
neutral atom–based quantum technologytechnical
Neutral atom–based quantum technology uses individual atoms that carry no net electric charge as tiny, controllable bits of quantum information, arranged and manipulated with lasers and magnetic fields much like chess pieces moved precisely on a board. It matters to investors because this approach aims to build powerful quantum computers and sensors with potentially lower error rates and easier scaling than some alternatives, offering a route to breakthroughs that could create new markets or disrupt existing ones.
quantum atomic clocktechnical
A quantum atomic clock is an ultra-precise timekeeper that measures the vibrations of individual atoms using quantum effects to keep time far more accurately than conventional clocks. Think of it as a super-accurate metronome that can synchronize systems to billionths of a second; for investors, that precision matters because it can improve telecom networks, navigation, financial trading timestamps, and national infrastructure, creating new markets and competitive advantages for companies that develop or use the technology.
GPS applicationstechnical
GPS applications are software and services that use satellite location data to find and track positions, guide routes, and trigger actions based on where things are—like a digital map that also knows where your keys, delivery truck, or customer are in real time. Investors care because these apps can cut delivery costs, unlock new services, improve asset use, and create recurring revenue streams; improvements or failures in location tech can change a company’s growth and competitive edge.
space infrastructuretechnical
Space infrastructure are the physical systems and facilities — like satellites, launch vehicles, ground stations and orbital platforms — that enable activities in space such as communications, navigation, Earth observation and in-orbit manufacturing. Investors care because these assets create revenue streams, reduce costs for other space services, and can unlock new markets; think of them as the roads, bridges and utilities that make a city (the space economy) usable and investable.
Chief Revenue Officer Paul Lipman to participate in conference program at the world's most powerful technology event CES 2026
BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Infleqtion, a global leader in neutral atom–based quantum technology, will participate in the quantum conference track at CES 2026, taking place January 7-10 in Las Vegas. [As the world's most influential technology event,] CES brings together tens of thousands of innovators, developers, and industry leaders to explore the latest breakthroughs shaping the future of consumer technology. Infleqtion plans to go public through a merger with Churchill Capital Corp X (NASDAQ: CCCX).
Paul Lipman, Chief Revenue Officer at Infleqtion, will participate in "Quantum is Now: Unprecedented Improvement in Precision & Sensitivity" on Tuesday, January 6, at 11:00 a.m. PST at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC, North Level 2, N261). As part of the “Quantum Means Business: A Quantum World Congress Program” track, the session will explore how quantum devices’ superior capabilities are opening new frontiers in medical imaging and diagnostics, environmental monitoring, manufacturing, and GPS applications.
"CES is the premier global stage for the intersection of innovation and real-world impact," said Matthew Kinsella, CEO of Infleqtion. "We’re proud to have Paul representing our team by showcasing the practical applications of quantum and how it’s already transforming industries, particularly in sensing. It's an important opportunity to demonstrate the commercial readiness of quantum technologies to the world's most forward-thinking business leaders."
"This topic goes far beyond hypotheticals, with quantum precision and sensitivity improvements solving real problems right now in critical areas such as national security and space infrastructure,” said Lipman. “CES provides the perfect platform to showcase these capabilities.”
Infleqtion's presence at CES reflects the company's growing momentum in quantum sensing for mission-critical applications. The company recently appointed aerospace veteran Karl Pendergast to lead its Quantum Sensing Solutions Group, positioning Infleqtion to scale solutions for defense, aerospace, and national security customers. Infleqtion also announced a partnership with Voyager Technologies to bring quantum technologies to orbit, with plans to integrate its Tiqker quantum atomic clock aboard the International Space Station and Starlab to enhance navigation, communications, and space infrastructure resilience.
