Infleqtion Runs Tiqker Optical Atomic Clock Aboard Navy Vessel During Exercise

Louisville, 30 October 2026. Infleqtion (NYSE: INFQ) operated its Tiqker optical atomic clock continuously aboard the U.S. Navy's RV Merlin support vessel during the Maritime Big Play Pacific (MBP-P) military exercise, the company announced on October 30, 2026. The demonstration was intended to show quantum timing capabilities in support of navigation.

Infleqtion said it operated Tiqker continuously aboard RV Merlin for two weeks in the Southern California (SOCAL) operating area. The clock ran during the exercise, which the company said was sponsored by the Office of the Under Secretary of War for Research & Engineering.

The exercise included participation from across the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Marine Corps and Australia and UK (AUKUS) partners. Infleqtion described the event as a demonstration of quantum timing capabilities to support navigation.

Infleqtion, based in Louisville, Colo., describes itself as a provider of quantum computing and quantum sensing systems powered by neutral atom technology. The Tiqker clock was also referenced in the company's release as a validated advanced solution available to customers across defense, telecommunications and critical infrastructure sectors.
