About this award
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded an $8.126 million definitive contract to Infleqtion Quantum, LLC on June 30, 2021, for the Quantum Apertures program, which aims to demonstrate the utility of Rydberg sensors as part of a portable RF receiver system in defense applications. The contract carries a cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing structure with an ultimate completion date of December 30, 2024.
Infleqtion Quantum is a small business quantum technology manufacturer headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, where all work is performed. The originating solicitation (DARPA HR001121S0002, posted October 1, 2020) sought proposals for a quantum-based radio frequency receiver capable of receiving modulated signals from 10 MHz to 40 GHz using a single sensing element, with emphasis on improved sensitivity, fast frequency tuning, sensor arrays, angle-of-arrival detection, and arbitrary waveform reception. Multiple awards totaling approximately $45 million over four years were anticipated across two technical areas. Security clearances up to Secret//Special Access Required level were required.
Subcontractors include Wavsens LLC for hardware procurement and RF waveform synthesis and analysis; the University of Oklahoma for Rydberg state research and characterization in cesium; Teledyne Scientific & Imaging LLC for sensor head design, assembly, system integration, and demonstration; and BAE Systems Information And Electronic Systems Integration Inc. for laser system development, software-defined radio design, and signal processing algorithms.
