Company profile

Quantum Science

Develops infrared quantum-dot materials and inks for photodetectors and image sensors at Sci-Tech Daresbury.

Company overview

Quantum Science develops quantum-dot materials and inks for infrared imaging and sensing. Its INFIQ technology is intended for photodetectors and image sensors, providing a semiconductor-materials connection. The company describes solution-processable inks that form infrared-sensitive thin films and devices. Its published portfolio includes lead-containing quantum dots covering wavelengths from 800 to 2,400 nanometres and lead-free materials covering 800 to 1,600 nanometres, with samples available. Target applications include automotive sensing, mobile devices, industrial machine vision, security and hyperspectral imaging. The company identifies Sci-Tech Daresbury as its headquarters, and its contact page provides an address in Techspace One. Its advisory team includes academics from Manchester and Glasgow, although those appointments alone do not establish institutional research agreements.
