Vector Atomic

Vector Atomic describes itself as a quantum-technology company building clocks and sensors based on atomic physics. Its homepage says the company was founded in 2018 and is located in Pleasanton, California. The company states that its products are intended for applications including navigation, communications, radar, cloud infrastructure, astronomy, and GPS-denied operation.

The company’s website highlights two main product areas: timing and sensing. In timing, it says it is building high-performance clocks and synchronization hardware for picosecond-level timing networks, and names the Evergreen-30 (EG-30) and a Dual Frequency Comb. In sensing, it describes inertial sensors and specifically names its GAINS gravimeter, which it says has operated autonomously at sea. The homepage also says its work is primarily funded through competitive R&D contracts with the US government and notes that IonQ completed an acquisition of Vector Atomic.
