Muquans

Muquans is a French quantum sensing company founded in 2011 as a spinout from Observatoire de Paris and Institut d'Optique that became the first company to exploit laser-cooled quantum manipulation techniques on an industrial scale, developing the world's first commercial Absolute Quantum Gravimeter achieving µGal-level precision through cold rubidium atom interferometry, along with atomic clocks, frequency transfer systems, and high-performance laser systems, acquired by iXblue in 2021 to create a European leader in photonics and quantum technologies, serving geophysics, oil and mineral exploration, civil engineering, and navigation markets with quantum sensors that measure gravitational acceleration changes to detect subsurface mass variations.
