Aquark Technologies

Aquark Technologies builds miniaturised cold-atom quantum hardware for sensing and timing, including a cold-atom clock (AQlock), a spectroscopy module (AQurate) and a miniaturised cold-atom system (AQuest), according to its website. The stated applications are navigation, communication, security and resilient infrastructure.

The company sells quantum hardware to industrial and defence customers in critical sectors. The website reports trials with the Royal Navy and Saab UK of a cold-atom clock used alongside networked radars, and describes tests across air, sea and underwater environments.

Aquark was established in 2021 in Southampton, UK, and describes itself as a University of Southampton spin-out. It states that it has received investment from the NATO Innovation Fund, Innovate UK, EIFO, UKI2S and MBDA, and has set up an Aquark Technologies ApS entity in Denmark. The company is hiring for a Project Control Officer/Manager and maintains a Talent Pool, both on-site in Eastleigh.
