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.
