Q.ANT GmbH

🌟 Q.ANTies shift the boundaries of physics! Congratulations, Alexander Mikhaylov! 🎉Alexander has been recognized by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) with the Accolades for Technical Excellence MML 2024 for his contribution to the work on entangled two-photon absorption  for “refuting published claims about quantum-enhanced microscopy” that led to a 2023 US Department of Commerce Bronze Medal Award.   As part of the team around Michael Mazurek, Daniel Lum and Kristen Parzuchowski, Alexander, played a crucial role in conducting experiments to investigate two-photon absorption using entangled photons. They challenged previous findings and set new, more precise bounds on entangled two-photon absorption cross sections in common fluorophores. Their findings have been published in #PhysicalReviewApplied here https://lnkd.in/e36vdMr and in #TheJournalofPhysicalChemistryLetters here: https://lnkd.in/eE4FDt-E having sparked ongoing discussions and further research in the field. Your dedication to scientific rigor and collaborative spirit make us proud, Alexander! 🔬👏 #NISTAward #QANT #ScientificExcellence #Team

Great evening out with the #greatteam 🏃♀️ ⏱

The Handelsblatt Summer Camp is back for its third round, and our CEO Dr. Michael Förtsch is once again joining the conversation! 🚀 Today and tomorrow, over 800 industry leaders will gather at the Munich Urban Colab to discuss the future of technology and innovation. Michael will be a panelist in the discussion "Beyond Tomorrow: Transformative Technologies Shaping Our World." 🌎 ✨ His perspective: "We are entering a new technological era where light will play a transformative role to bridge the physical and digital worlds. It will serving as a medium for both data processing and sensing. In the near future, photonic technologies could enable seamless communication between humans and technology by thoughts. Even sooner, these innovations hold the promise of creating energy-efficient data centers by optimizing complex AI challenges with native solutions. Light will act as the crucial link between our physical reality and the digital realm, driving advancements in Native Sensing and Native Computing."

✨ First steps towards space 🚀 and 2027 in focus for the launch! We shipped the first prototype of the #QYRO unit to DLR Deutsches Zentrum für Luft-und Raumfahrt e.V. for performance testing of the hard- and software. QYRO is an atomic gyroscope for the attitude control of cubesats, which will in future form a satellite network in lower orbit for world-wide internet connectivity. Leading the project, Q.ANT has been responsible for unit design, integration, and testing - and has delivered this prototype as first milestone after 2 years of development in time and scope. The project, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), is a huge effort of all collaboration partners, including the DLR Galileo Kompetenzzentrum (GK) for all space-related aspects, Ferdinand-Braun-Institut, Leibniz-Institut für Höchstfrequenztechnik, TRUMPF TLB & TPC for VCSELS and laser diodes as well as Bosch for the vapor cell and the magnetic shielding - a big THANK YOU to all involved! DLR will now connect and test the atomic gyroscope with the FlatSat for an electrical test campaign and a functional test campaign to follow, with a performance test scheduled for the end of this month. Reliable transmission of satellite communication signals can only be achieved by constantly maintaining high-precision attitude control of satellites in their orbit. If a satellite moves out of position, the signals get weaker. The gyroscope is developed to permanently enhance measurement stability. The sensors, based on quantum technologies, are particularly suitable for deployment in satellites thanks to their ability to provide reliably accurate measurement results and excellent performance in a compact, low-weight package. This solution can keep satellites correctly oriented in space over a period of years. #innovation #sensortechnology #teamwork #sensors #space #satellite
