About Icarus Quantum Inc.
Icarus Quantum Inc., a for-profit manufacturer of advanced quantum photon sources headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, operates exclusively as a prime contractor on small-business-set-aside research and development contracts and grants focused on quantum technologies for defense and civilian applications. The company competes entirely under total small business set-asides and has zero subcontract footprint; all eight awards in its recent federal portfolio are prime agreements.
Icarus Quantum's concrete capability is the design and manufacture of semiconductor quantum dot-based photon sources for quantum networking, quantum computing, and space-based applications. Representative work includes a $1.25 million STTR Phase II definitive contract from the Air Force Research Laboratory (awarded April 6, 2026, completing April 6, 2028) for pulsed entangled photon sources for global-scale quantum networking; a $1.25 million STTR Phase II contract from AFRL (awarded September 20, 2024, completing December 20, 2026) for quantum light sources and related components; and a $150 thousand STTR Phase I purchase order from AFRL (awarded March 4, 2024, completing March 15, 2024) for an on-demand entangled photon source for space applications. The company also holds grant awards from the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the National Science Foundation, including a $400 thousand cooperative agreement from NIST (awarded October 1, 2025, completing September 30, 2027) for a fiber-coupled turnkey photon source based on semiconductor quantum dot technology, and a $305 thousand NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships SBIR Phase I grant (awarded October 1, 2025, completing September 30, 2026) for tunable single and entangled photon generation.
The Air Force Research Laboratory dominates Icarus Quantum's customer concentration, representing 4 of 8 awards (100% of coverage) and $2.7 million of $2.9 million combined potential value. The company also engages with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (two awards), NASA (one award, $150 thousand), and the National Science Foundation (one award). Four awards totaling $2.5 million in combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore present recompete risk or opportunity. Icarus Quantum works primarily under NAICS 541712 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences), with classification spread across applied research and basic research under National Defense R&D and General Science and Technology R&D categories.
