Ideas Lab named as Industry Partner for DARPA Quantum Apertures program

“SRI International is excited to announce the institute is one of four teams selected to participate in Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)’s Quantum Apertures (QA) program. The QA program’s goal is to develop portable and directional RF antennas and RF receivers with significantly greater sensitivity, bandwidth and dynamic range than any classical receiver available today.

SRI and other research teams including Quantum Valley Ideas Lab will seek to address today’s antenna limitations by advancing the current state-of-the-art in quantum RF sensors – the Rydberg sensor. The QA program will address the significant technical challenges in realizing the Rydberg sensor’s potential.”
