Who We Are

Pioneering the Future of
Quantum Sensing

QuantumAstra is at the forefront of quantum sensing technology, developing next-generation sensors that bridge the gap between laboratory-grade precision and real-world deployability.

Our proprietary quantum sensing technology delivers enhanced measurements in form factors small enough for satellites, rugged enough for defense, and affordable enough for commercial energy applications.

Sensitivity

Quantum-grade magnetic field measurement from a solid-state sensor at room temperature.

Form Factor

Compact sensor heads sized for small UAS, ground vehicles and dismounted kits.

Low SWaP-C

Low size, weight, power and cost, with a design built for scalable manufacturing.

Bench Prototype
Our Technology

From Bench
to Field

One sensor, one path to scale. We proved the quantum sensing chain on the bench, and we’re now developing a next-generation sensor head built for the field.

Stage 1 Complete · TRL 3

Bench Prototype

A working room-temperature quantum magnetometer that validates the full sensing chain, running under 2 W in a compact module.

Stage 2 In Development

Next-Generation Sensor Head

A smaller, lower-power sensor head with improved sensitivity, designed for volume manufacturing.

Stage 3 Next

Field Integration

Pairing the next-generation sensor with our validated software for GPS-denied navigation and buried threat detection on small UAS and ground platforms.

Sensor & Applications

One Platform,
Many Missions

Our quantum sensor platform starts with magnetometry, proven at TRL 3 on the bench. Our first applications are GPS-denied navigation and buried threat detection, where conventional sensors fall short.

First Modality TRL 3 Next-Gen in Development

Quantum Magnetometer

The first measurement mode of our sensor platform: a compact, solid-state quantum magnetometer that works at room temperature. Our bench prototype validates the complete sensing chain, and the next-generation sensor head now in development brings that capability to a smaller, more efficient package.
