Quantum Science signs JDA with European sensor company

The first stage of the development agreement will last 12 months, during which time both companies will cooperate to demonstrate the integration of Quantum Science’s (QD) inks into a machine vision system.

This is a validation of Quantum Science’s QD ink approach which greatly simplifies the deposition of quantum dot photodiode stacks and removes the need for additional chemistry expertise required by the incumbent layer-by-layer approach of competitors.

The development will enable the low cost and high throughput integration of this disruptive imaging technology by an established player in the machine vision market.

Revenue generated by the Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) imager market reached about $97 million in 2022 and is expected to reach $650M in 2028, for a 37.3% compound annual growth rate in the 2022–2028 period according to Yole report SWIR Imaging 2023.

“It is a great pleasure work with such an important market leader as they continue to showcase technology leadership with Quantum Science. Our INFIQ quantum dot ink platform will contribute to their technology leadership in SWIR markets,” said William McLaughlin, COO, Quantum Science.
