Deployable atomic timing.

EpoQ is developing compact trapped-ion atomic clocks by combining microfabricated ion-trap technology, ultraviolet integrated photonics, and automated electronic control.

At the heart of our technology are trapped ytterbium ions (Yb⁺), which provide a highly stable atomic frequency reference. By integrating the optical systems required to manipulate and detect these ions onto photonic chips, we aim to significantly reduce the size, weight, power consumption, and complexity of conventional laboratory-based systems.
