About

Muquans is a French quantum sensing company founded in 2011 as a spinout from the Observatoire de Paris and the Institut d'Optique. It was the first company to apply laser-cooled quantum manipulation techniques on an industrial scale, developing the world's first commercial Absolute Quantum Gravimeter, which achieves microGal-level precision through cold rubidium atom interferometry. Its product line also includes atomic clocks, frequency transfer systems, and high-performance laser systems. Muquans was acquired by iXblue in 2021 to form a European leader in photonics and quantum technologies. Its quantum sensors measure changes in gravitational acceleration to detect subsurface mass variations, serving geophysics, oil and mineral exploration, civil engineering, and navigation markets.
