AegiQ, is one of the top photonics companies formed as a spinoff from the University of Sheffield. It was founded in 2019 by Maksym Sich, Scott Dufferwiel, Maurice Skolnick, and Jon Heffernan. Their main goal is to manufacture high-calibre quantum photonic applications. To achieve this, AegiQ secured £1.4 million in funding from Innovate UKin Septe...
Cambridge Quantum Computing(CQC) needs no introduction: a world leader in quantum algorithms and software, the CQC’s technology is assisting chemical, energy, financial, and material science companies to see the quantum future. Founded in 2014 by CEO Ilyas Khan, a British technologist, seasoned businessman and philanthropist (and former chairman of...
Hamamatsu Photonicswas founded in 1953 by Heihachiro Horiuchi. A manufacturer of a vast array of devices, from silicon photodiodes, electron multipliers (Ems) for detecting electrons, ions, and charged particles, to multi-pixel photon counters, Hamamatsu’s photonics technology also serves the quantum information science (QIS) industry with products...
A spinoff from Universitat Politècnica de València established in 2019, iPronicsfounders Ivana Gasulla, Jose Capmany, Daniel Pérez López, and Prometheus DasMahapatra’s focus is to revolutionize the future of integrated photonics. The novel idea of this company to develop general-purpose integrated programmable photonic systems, where optical hardwa...
A manufacturer of photonic integrated circuits (PIC) that serve the AI, quantum technologies, LiDAR and biosensor industries, LIGENTECwas founded off the work of the laboratory of Professor Kippenberg at the Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (Switzerland) in 2016 by Michael Geiselmann, Michael Zervas and Tobias Kippenberg. With its headqu...
Another Swiss startup, Miraexwas founded in 2019 as a spinoff from the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). Like LIGENTEC, Miraex is based out of Vaud. The startup develops and manufactures photonic and quantum solutions for next-generation sensing, networking and computing while offering a proprietary full-stack platform for sensing an...
M Squared, founded in 2006 during the early years of the commercialization of QC by Graeme Malcolm OBE, is a Scottish company based in Glasgow. With offices also in Europe and the US, the company manufactures integrated quantum systems like quantum accelerometers, sensors and optical lattice clocks. With a team of thirty scientists, engineers and p...
If you think M Squared is an old company, Nordic Quantum Computing Group (NQCG) makes it look like Peter Pan. Founded in 2000 (as one of the oldest QC companies in the world, duly noted here) by Axel Mustad, the Oslo-based company is working on a platform that utilizes agnostic quantum software grounded on developments in superconducting qubits and...
A spinout of the Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge founded in 2018, Nu Quantum’sscope is in the development of ‘end-to-end quantum cryptography systems, securing communications between cities through urban and satellite free-space optical links’. With revolutionary, as well as proprietary, single-photon components that enable the ...
The biggest player on the list, NTT Technologies, is a Japanese multinational telecommunications company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nippon Telegraph & Telephone (NTT) Corp. To readers of TQD, however, the company’s Nanophotonics Center (NPC), founded in 2012, is made up of several groups involved in nanophotonics research located in NTT’s Bas...
UK Photonics fully operational. Photonics Exports. 2 in 3 photonics manufacturers export >75% output. ~30% manufacturers export >90%. Industry forecasts export expansion. Post Covid-19, Post Brexit.
Jul 1, 2021 · Eight UK regions produce over £1 billion worth of photonics, based on over 1,500 operational locations across the UK. Two thirds of photonics jobs in those facilities are outside London and the South East. Additional analysis shows that an average of 33 new photonics companies have been founded every year for the last 20 years.
The majority of photonics components manufacturers are small- and medium-size entities (SMEs). In fact, about 71% are companies with revenues of less than $10 million. The percentage of SMEs has grown over the years as new companies entered the market.
The companies, research organisations and universities listed include those that manufacture photonics based products, are delivering photonics based services and those innovating photonics and quantum technology.
