Quantum Inertial Sensing for Navigation, Exploration & Security
Unprecedented Accuracy. Reliable Performance. No GPS Required.
Infleqtion’s quantum inertial sensor technology is inherently stable and accurate over long time-scales because atoms are identical with unchanging properties. This almost eliminates bias errors and drift—critical limitations in conventional inertial sensors such as gravimeters, accelerometers, or gyroscopes.
- Ultra-high precision gravity mapping for national security and geo-exploration and earth monitoring
- Long-duration GPS-independent navigation for aerospace and defense, providing resilience and autonomy
- Absolute measurements reduce the need for calibration and re-calibration, improving up-time

Delivering Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT)—Even Without GPS
Infleqtion provides the “P and N” in PNT with its quantum inertial sensing solutions, enabling precise position and navigation in GPS-denied environments. Complementing this, Infleqtion’s Tiqker atomic clock technology delivers the “T” for timing, ensuring complete resilience in mission-critical scenarios.
Together, these technologies enable secure, accurate, and independent operation where traditional systems fail.
