By interrogating rubidium atoms with correlated optical fields the system suppresses existing atom clocks. The technology covered by the patent application is based on a compact atomic clock architecture using Ramsey coherent population trapping.

High-precision atomic clocks are essential for the aerospace and defense industries for applications such as satellite navigation, secure communication networks, radar synchronization, autonomous platforms and other advanced defense technologies. Other industries that might need that level of timing synchronization by a quantum atomic clock are financial institutes and communication and other critical infrastructure facilities.

QXL's strategy and approach aims to bring laboratory-grade performance into deployable and potentially commercial ready solutions across all its spectrum of quantum technologies portfolio.
