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.
quantum computingtechnical
Quantum computing is a type of advanced technology that uses the principles of quantum physics to perform calculations much faster than traditional computers. It can process vast amounts of information simultaneously, potentially solving complex problems that are currently impossible or take too long with regular computers. For investors, this technology could lead to breakthroughs in areas like cryptography, data analysis, and optimization, impacting financial markets and security systems.
neutral-atom technologytechnical
Neutral-atom technology uses individually trapped, electrically neutral atoms as the basic units for storing and manipulating information, typically held in place and controlled by light or magnetic fields. Investors should care because this approach aims to build highly scalable, precise quantum devices and sensors that could enable new computing power and measurement capabilities; like arranging beads on a board, progress milestones and manufacturing scalability drive long-term value and risk.
quantum optical clocktechnical
A quantum optical clock is an ultra-precise timekeeper that measures the rhythm of individual atoms using light, like a stopwatch that ticks with the steady vibration of a single atom instead of gears. Investors care because far better timekeeping improves navigation, telecommunications, financial-trade timestamping and infrastructure synchronization — all areas that can boost performance, enable new services, reduce errors, and create commercial opportunities as the technology is adopted.
gpstechnical
A global network of satellites and ground stations that provides precise location and time information to devices on Earth; think of it as a map and clock in the sky that tells a device exactly where and when it is. Investors care because GPS underpins navigation for shipping and delivery, fleet and asset tracking, location-based services, autonomous vehicles, and precise timing for financial networks—so changes in GPS technology, reliability, or competing systems can affect revenue, costs, and risk across many industries.
gnsstechnical
GNSS stands for Global Navigation Satellite System, a network of satellites that provide precise location and timing information anywhere on Earth, like a constantly available digital map and clock. It matters to investors because many industries—transportation, agriculture, telecom, finance and defense—rely on this positioning and timing for products, services and critical infrastructure; improvements or disruptions in GNSS can change costs, create new revenue streams, or introduce operational risk.
A validated advanced solution now available to customers worldwide across defense, telecommunications, and critical infrastructure sectors
LOUISVILLE, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Infleqtion (NYSE: INFQ), a global leader in quantum sensing and quantum computing powered by neutral-atom technology, announced availability of the first quantum-enabled precision timing solution delivered as part of the company’s partnership with global civil and military equipment manufacturer Safran Electronics & Defense. The new solution includes Infleqtion’s Tiqker™ quantum optical clock, which has been integrated and validated with Safran’s White Rabbit and SecureSync® systems.
Maxime Gorlier, left, senior vice president and general manager of the One PNT business unit at Safran Electronics & Defense, and Matthew Kinsella, CEO of Infleqtion, sign a strategic partnership agreement.
Modern systems, from financial markets to military operations, telecom networks and datacenters, depend on technologies such as GPS or GNSS for precise timing, but these are vulnerable to jamming, spoofing, and natural disruption. As threats to traditional timing infrastructure grow, the need for resilient, independent alternatives has become critical.
Both companies have addressed this challenge by integrating Infleqtion’s Tiqker with Safran’s White Rabbit and SecureSync systems. In a recent live demonstration conducted in partnership with Quantum Corridor, the solution integrating Tiqker, White Rabbit, and SecureSync system was validated in a real-world environment, demonstrating picosecond (PS) accuracy vs. nanosecond (NS) GPS accuracy.
The combined, validated solution delivers enhanced stability and resilience, ensuring continuity of operations for mission-critical systems even in environments where traditional timing signals are challenged or denied.
“Resilient timing is foundational to national security, secure communications and the infrastructure the global economy runs on,” said Matt Kinsella, CEO of Infleqtion. “We've combined quantum precision with proven synchronization systems to deliver the independence and reliability that mission-critical operations demand.”
The collaboration between Infleqtion and Safran Electronics & Defense makes the validated solution available to customers globally, across allied defense, telecommunications, and critical infrastructure sectors, enabling rapid deployment of precision timing architectures designed to operate even in GNSS-challenged environments.
