NMR gyroscope
Measures rotation through the behaviour of atomic nuclei in a magnetic field: xenon nuclei precess at a well-defined Larmor frequency and are read out optically. No moving mechanical parts.

Quantum Sensing
Rotation sensing and precision timing built on atomic physics, for systems that cannot rely on an external reference.
NMR gyroscopeOptically read HRGRb Ramsey-CPT clock
The problem
When the external reference disappears
Anything that moves needs to know how it is turning, and every system that communicates, navigates or synchronises depends on a stable sense of time.
When GNSS is unavailable, contested or jammed, the platform falls back on its own sensors and its own clock, and their limits become the limits of the whole system.
Without a stable reference, error keeps growing. A reference tied to atomic physics keeps it inside a narrow band.
Our approach
Three architectures, one physics
Optically read HRG
A hemispherical resonator whose vibration pattern shifts when the device rotates, read out with low-noise laser detection.
In development
Rubidium Ramsey-CPT clock
A compact vapour-cell clock that locks an electronic oscillator to the rubidium ground-state transition, targeting improved short- and medium-term stability.

Quantum Gyroscope
Rotation sensing · Navigation
High-precision navigation when GPS is unavailable or jammed, with two architectures: the NMR gyroscope and the optically read HRG.
In development
Quantum Atom Clock
Precision timing
A rubidium Ramsey-CPT clock for portable and embedded applications, where timing has to hold without GNSS.
