About
DeteQt is a University of Sydney spinout developing diamond-on-silicon quantum magnetometers for GPS-denied navigation, mineral detection, and portable medical imaging applications. The company's technology uses nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond integrated with silicon photonics for compact, high-sensitivity magnetic field sensing. In March 2025, DeteQt secured pre-seed funding from Main Sequence Ventures and ATP Fund, alongside a $3M Australian Defence Force contract for navigation applications. In April 2026 it closed an AUD 5M seed round led by Main Sequence, and it has partnered with Fleet Space Technologies on resource exploration.
