"Since the initial meetings we have engaged
Prof Luiten’s team on one of the largest
multiyear Defence-University Collaborations
ever created, which is now deploying the
Cryoclock technology across the JORN
network.It is wonderful that
20 years of difficult fundamental science
efforts have yielded such an important
benefit.
Andre has a strong drive to see his research
demonstrated in the real world, and has since
registered an incorporated company QuantX
Labs, that will bring a commercial focus to
developing his world-leading precision and
measurement instruments."
Dr Gordon Frazer
CEO, FrazerLab Pty Ltd
I was impressed on my recent visit to
QuantX Labs on 18 August 2022, and I am
encouraged by recent developments to
the Sapphire Clock and its progression to
capability. The collaboration between
QuantX Labs and Defence is an excellent
example of the innovation-to-impact
principals intended by the More, Together:
Science Technology Strategy 2030, and the
value Australian companies play in
shaping capabilities for
the Australian Defence Force.
