The Tough Tech problem we are solving
Today’s satellites and cameras throw away about 95% of the information carried by incoming photons, forcing systems to bump up against a hard physical barrier known as the diffraction limit. This limitation caps resolution and how far we can see, constraining critical applications like space situational awareness and the search for habitable exoplanets that could support life.
About our solution
Diffraqtion is building satellites powered by quantum cameras that break through the diffraction limit and can see up to 20x farther than any existing camera technology. Developed over seven years with partners including DARPA and NASA, and intended for missions like the Habitable Worlds Observatory, this award‑winning quantum imaging platform combines advances in space, quantum photonics, and optics into a deployable system headquartered in Somerville, MA.
