Phantom Photonics

Phantom Photonics is a NATO DIANA company spun out from the University of Waterloo's Institute for Quantum Computing, developing advanced quantum sensors with unmatched noise resilience for space, underwater, and long-distance applications. The company's cutting-edge technology for quantum 3D remote sensing was developed at the Quantum Photonics Lab by Alex Maierean, Dr. Shihan Sajeed, and Prof. Thomas Jennewein. Phantom's quantum coherence-based sensors offer superior noise resilience, covert functionality, and imperviousness to adversarial disabling, enabling undersea asset monitoring and anti-collision systems for satellites. The company raised $320K in funding and plans its first marine sensor network demonstration by end of 2025.
