Infleqtion and Safran Launch Quantum Timing Solution

As reliance on GPS based timing systems grows across critical infrastructure, vulnerabilities such as jamming and spoofing are driving demand for more resilient and independent alternatives.

Infleqtion has announced the availability of a quantum enabled precision timing solution developed in partnership with Safran Electronics & Defense. The Infleqtion quantum timing solution integrates advanced quantum clock technology with established synchronization systems to deliver highly accurate and resilient timing capabilities for mission critical environments.

The solution centers on Infleqtion’s Tiqker quantum optical clock, which has been integrated and validated with Safran’s White Rabbit and SecureSync systems. This combination enables significantly improved timing precision, achieving picosecond level accuracy compared to the nanosecond accuracy typically associated with GPS and GNSS based systems.

Modern sectors such as financial services, telecommunications, data centers, and defense operations rely heavily on precise timing for synchronization and coordination. However, traditional satellite based systems remain vulnerable to interference, including signal disruption, spoofing, and environmental factors. These risks have heightened the need for alternative timing solutions that can operate independently of external signals.

The Infleqtion quantum timing solution addresses these challenges by providing enhanced stability and operational resilience. In a recent live demonstration conducted in collaboration with Quantum Corridor, the integrated system was tested in a real world environment, confirming its ability to maintain precise timing even under conditions where conventional signals may be compromised.

“Resilient timing is foundational to national security, secure communications and the infrastructure the global economy runs on,” said Matt Kinsella, CEO of Infleqtion. “We’ve combined quantum precision with proven synchronization systems to deliver the independence and reliability that mission-critical operations demand.”

By combining quantum sensing with established synchronization platforms, the solution ensures continuity of operations for systems that depend on precise timing, even in GNSS challenged environments. This capability is particularly important for defense and critical infrastructure sectors, where disruptions can have significant operational and economic consequences.

The collaboration between Infleqtion and Safran Electronics & Defense makes the solution available globally, targeting customers across allied defense, telecommunications, and infrastructure industries. The companies aim to enable faster deployment of next generation timing architectures that can support increasingly complex and connected systems.

The Infleqtion quantum timing solution highlights a broader shift toward quantum technologies in cybersecurity and infrastructure resilience. As threats to traditional timing systems continue to evolve, quantum based alternatives are expected to play a key role in ensuring secure, reliable, and high precision operations across critical sectors.
