Company Profile

Launched - and SBIR active since 2007 - ColdQuanta is usefully understood as a global quantum technology company addressing finding solution to some of world’s most challenging problems. Company harnesses quantum mechanics to build and integrate quantum computers, sensors, and networks. Across all the mission agencies and a few other (NSF and DOC) from fundamental physics to leading edge commercial products, ColdQuanta enables “quantum everywhere” through their ecosystem of devices and platforms. Spun out of research in atomic physics undertaken at the University of Colorado's Joint Institute for Lab Astrophysics (JILA), ColdQuanta works in space of ultracold devices, instruments and systems building Quantum Computers and Quantum Sensing Technologies. The firm's core technology comes out of two+ decades of scientific and technological achievements in Atomic, Molecular and Optical (AMO) physics, including those leading to 1997 Nobel Prize in Physics for laser cooling and the 2001 Nobel Prize for the achievement of Bose-Einstein Condensation (BEC) in an atomic vapor. Recognized to be atom equivalent of a laser, BEC - essentially a new form of matter formed just above absolute zero degrees, and more generally, ultracold states of matter - have a richness of potential applications on a par or which may indeed exceed those of the laser. Cold and ultracold atoms are already having a substantial impact in frequency standards, clocks and inertial sensing including gravimetry. BEC or Ultracold Atom System comprise ColdQuanta’s flagship RuBECi® product. Also included in the company's technology platform are the required electronics, lasers, optics, and imaging equipment to create and image the cloud of ultra-cold atoms. The firm maintains facilities and has a US presence in Boulder, CO; Chicago. IL and Madison, WI and overseas in Oxford, England,
