About NantQ

Our Mission

Making Quantum Light Accessible

NantQ was founded on a singular vision: to make high-quality entangled photon sources available as reliable, engineered products rather than fragile laboratory setups. We believe that the quantum technology revolution — from unhackable communications to exponentially faster computing — depends on robust, reproducible sources of quantum light.

Our vertically integrated approach spans the entire value chain: from growing and poling lithium niobate crystals, through waveguide fabrication and fiber packaging, to complete turnkey systems with integrated electronics and software.

As the pioneer of quantum light source commercialization, NantQ serves researchers, system integrators, and end-users across quantum computing, sensing, and secure communication networks worldwide.

Core Values

What Drives Us

◆

Vertical Integration

We control every step from crystal growth to system calibration. This ensures consistency, performance, and the ability to customize at any level of the stack for our customers' unique requirements.

★

Scientific Rigor

Every product ships with measured performance data — spectral profiles, heralding efficiencies, and visibility measurements. We publish what we measure and guarantee what we publish.

⚙

Application Focus

We don't just sell components — we engineer solutions. Our team works alongside customers to select, configure, and optimize the right quantum source for each specific application and deployment scenario.
