About
Diffraqtion is an MIT and University of Maryland spinout developing quantum camera technology for satellite constellations with much faster image processing. Its quantum imaging technology achieves up to 1,000 times faster processing and 20 times higher resolution than conventional systems, enabling more affordable and precise imaging for space situational awareness, Earth observation, orbital safety, agriculture monitoring, and disaster response. The company was founded by Johannes Galatsanos (CEO), Christine Wang (CTO), and Professor Saikat Guha (Chief Science Advisor). It secured $4.2 million in pre-seed funding led by QDNL Participations, with participation from milemark•capital, Aether VC, ADIN, and Offline Ventures. Diffraqtion has also won first place at SLUSH 100, with a $1.1 million equity prize, and a $100,000 TechConnect award. The company is taking part in the U.S. Space Force's Apollo Accelerator program, and its foundational research was initially developed with NASA and DARPA support. Update 2026-01-13: Diffraqtion developed a new quantum camera that processes images 1,000 times faster and provides 20 times higher resolution than existing technology.
