About
QLM Technology is a UK quantum sensing company founded in 2020 in Cardiff/Bristol that develops quantum gas lidar systems for methane leak detection in the oil and gas industry. Its quantum-enhanced LiDAR uses laser spectroscopy to detect methane at parts-per-billion sensitivity from a distance, enabling rapid field-level leak surveys that classical IR cameras cannot perform. In 2025, QLM raised a £12M Series A led by Schlumberger (SLB) and in April 2025 formed a strategic partnership with Project Canary for emissions monitoring. Based in Bristol, UK.
