Description

The opportunity presents Los Alamos National Laboratory’s Quantum Trapped‑Atom Gravity Gradiometer (Q‑TAGG) technology for licensing. Q‑TAGG is a compact, guided‑atom interferometer that offers extended interrogation times and spatial multiplexing to measure gravity gradients with high sensitivity. The technology is at TRL 4, patent‑pending, and is positioned for markets such as geothermal exploration, subsurface imaging, environmental monitoring, security, mobile surveying, and space‑based Earth observation. Interested parties can contact LANL’s licensing office to discuss exclusive or non‑exclusive licensing agreements. • Compact guided‑atom architecture enables longer interaction times without tall free‑fall structures. • Spatial multiplexing provides simultaneous phase data from multiple sensing sites. • Applicable to a wide range of civilian and defense markets, including resource exploration, infrastructure monitoring, and security.

Budget estimate

$500,000 – $2,000,000

No firm contract value is disclosed; the opportunity is for licensing a TRL‑4 quantum sensor platform. Licensing deals for advanced quantum instrumentation typically range from a few hundred thousand dollars for limited‑scope, non‑exclusive rights to several million dollars for exclusive, long‑term agreements, especially given the broad market applications (geothermal, security, space). Therefore, a reasonable estimate is $0.5 M to $2 M in total licensing revenue.
