Voyager Technologies, and Infleqtion, a global leader in neutral atom-based quantum technology, announced a strategic partnership aimed at accelerating the deployment of dual-use quantum technologies in low-Earth orbit (LEO) and beyond. The alliance marks a significant step forward in the convergence of quantum innovation and the aerospace industry. The announcement follows Infleqtion’s plans to go public through a merger with Churchill Capital Corp X.
“We’re bringing quantum utility out of the lab and into operational theater,” said Dylan Taylor, Chairman & CEO, Voyager Technologies. “We’re unlocking a completely new class of dual-use capabilities with quantum timing, sensing and computing in space, strengthening the backbone of next-generation space infrastructure and ensuring mission continuity in increasingly contested domains.”
Under this partnership, Voyager and Infleqtion plan to demonstrate advanced quantum technologies in orbit, beginning with the integration of Infleqtion’s Tiqker Quantum atomic clock aboard the International Space Station (ISS), followed by deployment on Starlab, the next-generation commercial space station designed to succeed the ISS.

The collaboration will introduce an alternative, high-precision, and secure timekeeping source in space – a development poised to impact both commercial and national security missions, including those related to Golden Dome. This capability will enable more autonomous spacecraft coordination, secure communications, and inter-constellation synchronization.
“The advantages of quantum technology multiply in space,” said Matthew Kinsella, CEO of Infleqtion. “In orbit, precision timing and sensing can improve navigation, enable new kinds of communication and make our critical infrastructure more resilient. We expect that our partnership with Voyager will demonstrate how quantum timing and sensing can enhance the reliability, scalability and security of space infrastructure, delivering real impact in space.”
Infleqtion’s quantum technologies have been at the forefront of quantum innovation for more than a decade, including contributions to NASA’s Cold Atom Lab, currently operating on the ISS. Building on this foundation, Infleqtion and Voyager will work to extend quantum capabilities into the commercial era, powering a new generation of spaceborne data, navigation and sensing applications.
