About Us

Atomionics is a Singapore based startup building quantum sensors for resource exploration and navigation. Our sensors can build a 3D model of the subsurface, thus helping pinpoint resources critical for the energy transition, provide precise navigation, create a universal positioning system that works everywhere, as well as detect earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. We have deep expertise in bringing complex technologies from a lab environment to the dynamic real world.

We are a 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 microkelvin temperatures by shooting lasers at them. This allows us to precisely measure the forces acting on them. Due to the complexity of our work, our employees get to interact with other domains such as electronics engineering, mechanical engineering, software engineering, and physics. 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, Cap Vista, 500 Startups, Paspalis, and other prominent angels.
