Our technology

Scalable quantum hardware, built on 2D materials.

Photon Foundry's technology bridges the gap between quantum research and deployable hardware. We engineer single-photon emitters and spin sensors in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) — a 2D material platform that delivers quantum performance without cryogenics, and integrates cleanly into existing photonic systems.

The hBN Advantage: 2D Quantum Excellence

While traditional quantum materials like diamond require complex 3D integration or cryogenic cooling, our technology is built on hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN). As a 2D "Van der Waals" material, hBN offers a superior platform for quantum light and spin sensing.

• Room-Temperature Stability: High-performance quantum emission and spin coherence without the need for bulky cryogenics.

• Scalable by Design: 2D geometry allows for seamless integration into existing semiconductor and photonic chip architectures.

• Broad Spectrum: Efficient emission across a wide range, from UV to near-IR.

• Active Qubits: Spin-dependent photon emission enables the creation of addressable, on-chip qubits.

Core Technology Pillars

What we build: three core capability areas.

1. Quantum Light Generation

We engineer Bright Single Photon Sources (SPS) that provide high-purity, on-demand light. By optimizing defect centers in hBN, we achieve industry-leading brightness and multi-photon suppression, providing the fundamental "bits" for the quantum internet.

2. Quantum Spin Sensing

Our sensing technology utilizes atomic-scale defects as highly sensitive probes for magnetic and electric fields.

• Ensemble Spin Sensors: Optimized for wide-field imaging and high-sensitivity mapping in materials science and biology.

• Single Spin Sensors: Atomic-resolution probes for nanoscale NMR and surface physics.

3. Photonic Integrated Circuits (PIC)

Scalability requires integration. We develop hybrid PIC platforms that embed our quantum emitters directly into low-loss waveguides (such as Silicon Nitride). This moves quantum systems from the optical bench to a robust, chip-scale format.
