Atomionics is a Singapore based VC-backed startup building quantum sensors for Navigation and Resource Exploration. We measure gravity, acceleration, and rotation 1000x better than the state of the art. Atomionics sensors can build a complete map of the underground, thus help pinpoint underground structures like tunnels and bunkers, and predict earthquakes, provide precise navigation, and build a universal positioning system that works everywhere – underground, underwater, and even in space. We have deep expertise in bringing complex technologies from a lab environment to the dynamic real world. At Atomionics we like to cultivate a casual and friendly environment. We are a small focused group in a high-energy environment. The core of what we are building is called cold atom interferometry, where we cool down atoms to micro Kelvin temperatures by shooting lasers at them. Our team has over 30 years of combined relevant research experience. This allows us to measure the forces acting on them precisely. Due to the complexity of our work, our employees get to interact with other interdisciplinary domains such as Electronics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, and Software Engineering. Our company likes to treat our work as a “gym for our minds”. In addition, we are backed by some fantastic investors from the private and public sectors, such as Wavemaker, SGInnovate, Capvista, 500startups, and other prominent angels.
