Do you have a proven track record of atomic defect magnetometry? We are looking for candidates who can use this background to optimize and implement new concepts for control and readout of a quantum magnetometer. In close collaboration with our engineering team, you will guide hardware improvements to increase the sensitivity of our sensor.
You will interact directly with the algorithm and quantum sensor development teams. As the sensor’s first user, we will be relying on you to generate a wealth of relevant data from tests so that SBQ can better understand how to evolve the product. You will be responsible for characterizing its performance as well as the [...]
Joining them is Shine Bright Quantum, otherwise known as SBQuantum. Founded in Sherbrooke in 2017, it is a spinout from the Université de Sherbrooke’s Institut Quantique and ‘develops diamond-based quantum sensors with vectorial capabilities for space, defence and infrastructure inspection’. A founding member of Quantum Industry Canada (QIC) and a leading company in quantum sensing, cofounders David [...]
SBQ is proud to be the second prize winner of the MagQuest challenge! Partnering with Spire's agile nanosatellite conops capabilities, diamond based accurate magnetometry is the future of the WMM!

Unlocking the next generation of quantum sensing devices SBQuantum is a start-up company that is seeking to transform navigation in GPSdenied environments. The company develops and commercialises diamond-based quantum magnetometers for commercial and research applications, in particular for use in autonomous vehicles. Its goal is twofold: to improve the accuracy and reliability of navigation systems, [...]
The following projects have been awarded funding under the second component of the Competitive Projects element (1b). The objective of this Component is to continue the S&T efforts of Component 1a solutions for the purpose of progressing the solution to a higher Solution Readiness Level (SRL). Please note that submission titles appear in the language [...]
IN AUGUST OF 1905, a strange ship set sail from San Francisco Bay. The wooden brig, called Galilee—also the name of the sea where Jesus, riding in a boat himself, once allegedly soothed a storm—had been retrofitted for a new job: The Carnegie Institution's Department of Terrestrial Magnetism wanted to sail it around the Pacific Ocean, to measure [...]
Six innovator teams have joined Phase 3 of MagQuest, a $2.1 million competition to advance how we measure Earth’s magnetic field. With MagQuest, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency is accelerating novel approaches to geomagnetic data collection for the World Magnetic Model. Over the next several months, the six teams will iterate and refine their designs and testing plans [...]
