AOSense, Inc.
AOSense, Inc. is a leading developer and manufacturer of quantum technologies. We build systems and sub-components including atom optic devices for precision navigation, gravity measurement, timekeeping, and quantum computing.
Our capabilities include gyroscopes, accelerometers, inertial measurement units (IMUs), gravimeters, gravity gradiometers, and atomic frequency standards. A variety of quantum technologies such as computing, magnetometry, and quantum communication benefit from our development of sub-components such as compact and stable laser systems, atom sources, and a variety of hardware.
AOSense was formed in 2004 by Brenton Young and Mark Kasevich to spin off innovative research developed at Stanford University, joined by Jim Spilker as Chairman. In 2006, AOSense was awarded its first prime contract from DARPA to design, build, and test a gravity gradiometer and single-axis accelerometer/gyroscope.
Since then, AOSense has successfully designed and built state-of-the-art cold atom technology for numerous government-sponsored programs funded by DARPA, Air Force, Army, Navy, NASA, NSF, DTRA, and the intelligence community.
AOSense is an employee-owned company.
