Infleqtion receives £9M from UK Research and Innovation for quantum sensing
What happened
Infleqtion was awarded £9 million, approximately $12 million, by Innovate UK, a division of UK Research and Innovation. This funding is designated to continue the development of a deployable quantum radio frequency (QRF) direction finding system. The project aims to create a Quantum Spectrum-DF product to accurately detect and locate signals in challenging environments.
