We are not stuck in labs. With a clear focus on real-world requirements we integrate our technology
in customer applications with short iteration cycles and field testing in mind.
Arda Atomics is a Stuttgart based quantum sensing company, backed by TRUMPF.
We use our technical expertise, operational momentum, and focus on delivering novel sensing technology, in particular nuclearmagnetic resonance (NMR) gyroscopes for defence, aerospace, and security applications where current systems fail.
Bridging the gap between science and product with advanced systems engineering, for technology transfer from the lab to real-world applications
Our team brings together twelve specialists from across the spectrum of deep tech – atomic physicists, laser and optical engineers, electrical and mechanical engineers with space-qualified hardware experience, software engineers seasoned in satellite communication systems, and entrepreneurs who have built and exited companies before.
What connects them: hands-on experience turning complex science into real-world systems. From NMR gyroscopy and cold-atom experiments to avionics stabilisation and large-scale satellite integration, every team member has shipped hardware, written flight code, or built products under real constraints.
Atomic vapors cell sensors have attractive properties and advantages both from the fundamental science and in engineering viewpoint.
Atomic vapor cell based sensors rely on well-defined atomic transitions, providing intrinsically stable and reproducible measurements based on fundamental physical constants.
NMR sensors allow for compact, low-power, and highly resilient systems that operate reliably in dynamic and harsh environments while maintaining high performance.
• No calibration is needed, as governed by natural constants & quantum mechanics
• No need for cryogenic cooling with huge energy consumption
• High sensitivity via large signal strength from high atomic densities
• Scalable production via miniaturized fabrication
• Efficient optical control (reading/pumping of alkalimetal atoms)
• Wave lengths easily available via semiconductor lasers
Arda Atomics provides a headstart towards real quantum sensing.

Spin-based quantum gyroscopes for New Space applications
New Space applications, such as global, infrastructure-independent internet access via constellations of numerous mini-communications satellites, offer a promising way for areas with poor infrastructure to benefit from the opportunities of the digital age. In these CubeSat communication satellites, high-precision attitude sensors are a key technology, as they are what enable the satellite to be accurately aligned with a terrestrial target (e.g. a receiving antenna). The QYRO project aims to develop a space-qualified, high-precision angular rate sensor based on the quantum effect of nuclear magnetic resonance, which can be used to precisely control satellite orientation.
The concept of the NMR gyroscope is to be further developed into a demonstrator – using innovative laser technology and a systematic miniaturisation strategy for all components – that goes beyond the current state of the art and can be validated on a CubeSat in low Earth orbit. In this context, the DLR, as the national space agency, will be responsible for planning and executing a satellite launch, as well as the subsequent validation of the sensor on board a satellite in space.
