QuantX Labs is an Australian company specializing in high-precision timing and quantum sensor technologies for the defense, space, and critical infrastructure sectors. They develop products like Cryoclock, optical atomic clocks, and precision quantum magnetometers. QuantX Labs is preparing to launch its optical atomic clock technology into space aboard a SpaceX mission in December 2025, in collaboration with Exotrail, with support from the Australian Space Agency's Moon to Mars initiative. Their technologies support applications like deep-space communications, navigation, and Earth observation, with partners including the Australian Defence Force and the University of Adelaide.
