Quantum
Innovating in applied quantum sciences
For more than two decades, SRI has been developing precision quantum sensors to enable next-generation sensing and communications systems, from chip-scale clocks to cold-atom–based sensor systems, including developing the sophisticated integration technology required to move these sensors out of the lab.
Today, we’re rapidly expanding our quantum capabilities into several interconnected focus areas to solve problems in sensing and communications, as well as ISR (intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) and PNT (position, navigation, and timing). We do this by leveraging our unique mix of deep expertise across both quantum and modern classical research areas to find new ways to apply quantum solutions to outstanding R&D problems.
We’re also proud to manage QED-C, positioning the institute at the forefront of the quantum community.
