QuantX Labs
QuantX Labs is the premier, sovereign provider of high precision timing and sensor products used in defence, space and critical infrastructure. Our specialised team have more than 70 years combined experience in the innovation and development of precision measurement devices. Our current focus is on three programs: • Precision clocks and oscillators - Our flagship product – Cryoclock - is the world’s most precise clock – and is being developed for deployment into the ADF’s JORN Defence Radar. • Optical Atomic Clocks – a ground-breaking development of a next generation space atomic clock based on optical technology. • Quantum magnetometers - developed to sense extremely small changes in magnetic field due to ferrous material. These leading-edge technologies are just the beginning of the innovative solutions being designed for a range of sovereign and global applications including resilient position, navigation and timing services.
