Quantum X Labs Achieves Breakthrough with its First All-Optical Hemispherical Resonator Quantum Gyroscope
Rhea-AI Summary
Quantum X Labs (Nasdaq: QXL) announced a breakthrough: the first fully all-optical hemispherical resonator gyroscope (HRG) demonstrated in its lab. The resonator’s flexural mode is both driven and read using light, eliminating electrode-based capacitive excitation and readout.
This optical design reduces structural complexity, removes potential electrical noise sources, enables intrinsic electrical isolation, and creates a pathway to next-generation photonic inertial sensors for aerospace, defense and autonomous navigation. Quantum X Labs plans further refinement, joint ventures and cooperation to optimize performance, integrate the technology, and scale it toward deployable inertial measurement units (IMUs).

Eliminating Electrodes Marks a Major Step Toward Fully Optical, Electrically Isolated Inertial Sensors as Part of a Quantum Gyroscope
Tel Aviv, Israel, June 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Quantum X Labs Inc. (Nasdaq: QXL) (“Quantum X Labs” or the “Company”), an advanced quantum technologies company, today announced a major technological milestone: the successful demonstration of its first fully all-optical Hemispherical Resonator Gyroscope (HRG) in its lab. This breakthrough represents a fundamental shift in inertial sensing architecture, replacing traditional electrostatic actuation with a purely optical approach.
In this novel design, the HRG’s resonator flexural mode is both excited and measured using light alone. By eliminating conventional electrode-based capacitive excitation and readout, the system removes the need for electrostatic actuation electrodes entirely.
“This is a significant step forward for inertial sensing,” said Prof. Nir Sharon, Chief Quantum Technology Officer at Quantum X Labs. “By moving to an all-optical drive and readout, we simplify the resonator structure while opening the door to a new class of electrically isolated, high-performance sensors.”
Traditional HRGs rely on electrodes to induce and measure motion within the resonator. These components add complexity, introduce potential sources of noise and drift, and impose design constraints. Quantum X Labs’ optical approach addresses these challenges by:
- Eliminating electrode structures from the resonator assembly
- Reducing system complexity and potential failure points
- Enabling intrinsic electrical isolation
- Creating a pathway toward next-generation photonic inertial systems
The demonstration validates the feasibility of fully optical excitation and sensing in precision gyroscopes—an advancement that could have far-reaching implications for navigation systems in aerospace, defense, and autonomous platforms, particularly in environments where electromagnetic interference or electrical isolation is critical.
Quantum X Labs plans to continue refining the technology, with future work focused on potential joint ventures and cooperation for performance optimization, system integration, and scaling toward deployable inertial measurement units (IMUs) in aerospace, defense and other commercial applications.
