Validated Physics Nodes for Mission-Scale Systems
Apex Atomics builds robust quantum hardware by choosing the right layout, the right materials, and the right processes, delivering the test and metrology artifacts required for integration, qualification, and scale.
ATOMS DON'T LIE.®
Why Programs Fail, and How We're Different
Programs fail when physics is demonstrated but deployment artifacts are missing. We focus on the deliverables that make insertion and scale predictable.
Lab success, deployment friction
- Physics works in a fixture
- Packaging and drift collapse performance
- Test is ad-hoc; transfer is fragile
- Integration becomes bespoke and slow
Insertion and scale by design
- Layout/materials/process chosen for mission
- Test + metrology markers planned and delivered
- Validated nodes enable "build-from-here" success
- Prototype to LRIP to FRP tracked and managed
The Integration Stack
A deployable node is the full stack: physics + packaging + electronics + firmware + test. This is where mission outcomes are won.
Validated sensing modality
Atoms, optics, and interaction geometry chosen for mission constraints and SWaP-C.
Rugged packaging + thermal design
Performance preserved under vibration, drift, and tolerance. By design, not luck.
Low-noise control and readout
Power, EMI, and environmental realities treated as requirements.
Autonomy + interfaces
Self-check hooks, calibration sequences, and host connectivity.
Serialized test + metrology artifacts
Acceptance tests and traceability records integrators can trust and reuse.
Full-Stack Engineering Under One Roof
From physics validation through production readiness: hardware, software, and manufacturing capability.
Hardware
Electronics design, precision packaging, environmental test fixtures, system integration.
Software
Embedded firmware, test automation, host integration software, data acquisition systems.
Manufacturing
Prototype to LRIP to FRP, traveler and traceability documentation, process qualification, yield optimization.
What We Deliver
High-confidence insertion is driven by deliverables, not demos. These artifacts support on-time-squared, to-spec, within-budget execution.
- Rapid prototyping and proof-of-concept development
- Requirements capture plan (mission constraints to engineering requirements)
- Interface specifications (electrical, optical, data, mechanical)
- System insertion plan with milestones and go/no-go criteria
- Test and metrology markers (what to measure, when, and why)
- Acceptance tests + fixtures guidance
- Serialized calibration, traceability, and configuration control
- Validated nodes for high-confidence integration ("zero-shot" success)
- Design choices: right layout, materials, and processes
- Performance preserved under packaging and tolerance constraints
- Progress tracking: prototype to LRIP to FRP
- Risk analysis for tolerance and opportunity
- Qualification planning inputs and execution readiness
