The lens systems at the core of neutral-atom quantum computers.
Zernique designs, aligns and validates the high-NA objective lens systems that trap, arrange and read out atoms — on an AI-native manufacturing backbone built for repeat builds.
We build the engine that powers precision optics to scale quantum computers.
A small component with system-level leverage.
Neutral-atom teams cannot scale around weak optics. As arrays grow, objective performance, alignment stability and validation repeatability become the manufacturing bottleneck.
Focuses optical tweezers into diffraction-limited traps that define where each qubit sits.
Steers atoms into programmable, low-defect arrays.
Collects fluorescence for high-fidelity qubit-state readout.
Design intent in. A built, aligned, validated system out.
The product is not only the optical design. It is the repeatable workflow that turns a prescription into a lens system you can install and trust.
Optics design
Model prescription, wavelength, NA and working distance. Run tolerance and sensitivity analysis before anything is built.
Assembly & alignment
Build the lens stack with centration, spacing and datum control, verified against measurable references.
Active alignment
Correct residual error where passive tolerance stack-up falls short, and record every correction.
Metrology validation
Measure wavefront and interferometry outputs, and ship each system with its validation record.
Every build is captured as structured process data, so the next system starts from what the last one proved.
Every build makes the next one better.
Vulcan is our AI-native platform. It carries each order from specification to validated system, with AI proposing and engineers approving at every gate.
Order in plain language
Customers describe what they need in the portal. Vulcan turns it into structured optical, mechanical and validation requirements, then tracks the order live.
Engineers stay on the controls
Design agents generate and score candidate designs. Nothing is released to build until an engineer approves it.
Process data that compounds
Alignment runs and metrology results are captured in a consistent schema, building the dataset behind faster, more repeatable builds.
Built for quantum platforms that run on light.
Building a neutral-atom system? Let's talk optics.
Send us your wavelength, NA, working distance and field of view, or just the problem you're stuck on. An engineer replies, not a sales queue.
