Problem
Quantum technology is confined to tightly controlled laboratory environments due to the size, weight, power consumption, and cost of existing systems. This limitation prevents the widespread deployment of quantum devices in real-world applications.
Solution
Aquark Technologies develops miniaturized cold atom systems that enable quantum technology to operate outside of laboratory settings. Their portable and robust hardware addresses the size, weight, power, and cost challenges associated with quantum devices for applications in quantum sensing, computing, and communications. Aquark's solutions are based on a simplified cooling platform called Supermolasses, which reduces the complexity and resource requirements of traditional cold atom systems. The company's AQlock product is positioned to be the UK’s first commercially available cold atom clock.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes researchers, quantum engineers, and organizations requiring portable quantum solutions for sensing, computing, and communication applications, as well as those involved in critical infrastructure.
