Next-generation Earth and Space Intelligence powered by Quantum Cameras

Capturing pictures with conventional cameras means that 95% of the information contained inside the light is lost. That means that current satellites and machines are limited to a physical boundary, the diffraction limit, akin to the smallest letter you can see at the optometrist.

Our award-winning Quantum Cameras use breakthroughs in quantum technology developed for NASA and DARPA to discover life on other planets. Our cameras are the first to be able to see beyond the diffraction limit, and identify objects 20x further than any camera known to humanity.

Award-winning tech

Out technology has been recognized at the world’s most competitive stages, like winning first prize out of 1000 startups at SLUSH 2025 with a prize money of $1.2M, and winning $100k Best Space Innovation of 2025 at TechConnect.

Our technology was developed over 10 years by Prof. Saikat Guha in partnership with DARPA and NASA for high-precision space situational awareness. It is intended to fit into the Habitable Worlds Observatory, the successor to the James Webb and Hubble space observatories, dedicated to finding exoplanets that can support life.

Who We Are

Our startup has roots in MIT, University of Maryland, and University of Arizona. The first-of-it’s-kind tech we develop is at the intersection of space, quantum photonics, and optics.

Our Headquarters are in Somerville, MA.
