High-precision atomic clocks and inertial sensors
Vector Atomic builds high-performance quantum sensing devices for GPS-free timing and navigation, including optical atomic clocks, gyroscopes, gravimeters, and synchronization hardware for harsh environments on land, at sea, and in space. Its products use atomic transitions to provide picosecond-level timing and precise motion data, enabling secure navigation when GPS is unavailable. It differentiates itself through deep physics expertise, government contracting, and turning lab quantum devices into field-ready products, while remaining 100% employee-owned; it was acquired by IonQ to combine sensing with computing and networking. Its goal is to accelerate deployment of GPS-free navigation and secure quantum-enabled communication by integrating sensing with broader quantum platforms for government and commercial markets.
