About - Quantum Science Ltd

Who is Quantum Science

Quantum Science is a technology leader in nanomaterials innovation, committed to offering people and smart devices with unprecedented sensing, imaging and perception capability at affordable price, through the use of highly novel INFIQ® QDs.

Our Vision

We are committed to empowering everyone’s future life with superior perception capability.

From the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope, to flying taxi/drones in the sky, from self-driving cars on the roads to smart devices in our hands, from smart glasses to VR/AR/MR headsets, from earbuds to under skin detectors, eyeing the universe and getting to know the unknown world have been always an essential pursuit of our civilisation.

We believe data acquisition [sensing and imaging] together with data transmission [5G/6G] and data processing [AI] will build our future world.

At QS we are opening the door into the future. Our vision is to help humanity and smart machines acquire accurate and sufficient data, seeing beyond the visible world.

It all starts with our INFIQ® QDs…

Our Mission

Our mission is to innovate and develop high quality QD inks that absorb broadband infrared light and can be solution-processed to form defect-free infrared light sensitive thin films and devices, enabling high performance infrared sensing and imaging at a mass market affordable price.
