Voyager Technologies, Inc. [NYSE: VOYG] and Infleqtion have announced a strategic partnership to advance dual-use quantum technology in LEO and beyond—this collaboration marks a major milestone in the growing convergence of the quantum and aerospace industries and follows Infleqtion’s plans to go public through a merger with Churchill Capital Corp X [NASDAQ: CCCX].
The two companies intend to demonstrate advanced quantum technologies, beginning with the integration of Infleqtion’s Tiqker Quantum atomic clock aboard the International Space Station (ISS) and then Starlab, the next generation space station platform designed to replace the ISS.
The addition of an alternate high-precision, secure time source in space is expected to provide impact to commercial and national security missions, including those associated with Golden Dome, enabling autonomous spacecraft coordination and secure communications across constellations.
Infleqtion’s quantum technologies have been at the forefront of quantum innovation for more than a decade, including contributions to NASA’s Cold Atom Lab, currently operating on the ISS. Building on this foundation, Infleqtion and Voyager will work to extend quantum capabilities into the commercial era, powering a new generation of spaceborne data, navigation and sensing applications.
Space-based quantum systems are emerging as a potential cornerstone of future infrastructure, and this collaboration represents one of the first concrete steps toward operational quantum infrastructure in orbit.
We’re bringing quantum utility out of the lab and into operational theater,” said Dylan Taylor, Chairman & CEO, Voyager Technologies. “We’re unlocking a completely new class of dual-use capabilities with quantum timing, sensing and computing in space, strengthening the backbone of next-generation space infrastructure and ensuring mission continuity in increasingly contested domains.”
The advantages of quantum technology multiply in space,” said Matthew Kinsella, CEO of Infleqtion. “In orbit, precision timing and sensing can improve navigation, enable new kinds of communication and make our critical infrastructure more resilient. We expect that our partnership with Voyager will demonstrate how quantum timing and sensing can enhance the reliability, scalability and security of space infrastructure, delivering real impact in space.”
