Infleqtion and NASA to fly first quantum gravity sensor to space on QGGPf mission

Infleqtion announced its role as a collaborator on NASA's Quantum Gravity Gradiometer Pathfinder mission. The mission is led The quantum sensor is designed to monitor mass dynamics on the planet's surface, including changes in water, ice and land. The mission has more than $20 million in contracted mission funding to date. It includes contributions from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, the University of Texas at Austin, Infleqtion, Monarch Quantum and Jemba9. Infleqtion will handle the design, maturation and integration of the quantum core of the sensor. This includes the vacuum, laser and control subsystems. The cold-atom system is based on ultracold rubidium atoms cooled to near absolute zero. The project builds on prior work
