Infleqtion Delivers Quantum Precision Timing for Mission-Critical Systems

Estimated reading time: 1 minute

Infleqtion, a global leader in quantum sensing and quantum computing powered by neutral-atom technology, announced availability of the first quantum-enabled precision timing solution delivered as part of the company’s partnership with global civil and military equipment manufacturer Safran Electronics & Defense. The new solution includes Infleqtion’s Tiqker™ quantum optical clock, which has been integrated and validated with Safran’s White Rabbit and SecureSync® systems.

Modern systems, from financial markets to military operations, telecom networks and datacenters, depend on technologies such as GPS or GNSS for precise timing, but these are vulnerable to jamming, spoofing, and natural disruption. As threats to traditional timing infrastructure grow, the need for resilient, independent alternatives has become critical.

Both companies have addressed this challenge by integrating Infleqtion’s Tiqker with Safran’s White Rabbit and SecureSync systems. In a recent live demonstration conducted in partnership with Quantum Corridor, the solution integrating Tiqker, White Rabbit, and SecureSync system was validated in a real-world environment, demonstrating picosecond (PS) accuracy vs. nanosecond (NS) GPS accuracy.

The combined, validated solution delivers enhanced stability and resilience, ensuring continuity of operations for mission-critical systems even in environments where traditional timing signals are challenged or denied.

“Resilient timing is foundational to national security, secure communications and the infrastructure the global economy runs on,” said Matt Kinsella, CEO of Infleqtion. “We've combined quantum precision with proven synchronization systems to deliver the independence and reliability that mission-critical operations demand.”

The collaboration between Infleqtion and Safran Electronics & Defense makes the validated solution available to customers globally, across allied defense, telecommunications, and critical infrastructure sectors, enabling rapid deployment of precision timing architectures designed to operate even in GNSS-challenged environments.
