## About

Based in Sherbrooke, Canada, SBQuantum specializes in advanced magnetic intelligence solutions, focusing on the development of quantum magnetometers that leverage NV diamonds for precise magnetic field measurements.Founded in 2017 in Sherbrooke, Canada, SBQuantum develops innovative magnetic sensing technology. The company has secured USD 4.00 mn in SEED funding, with its latest funding round occurring on April 16, 2026. The funding was co-led by Quantonation and Quantacet, with participation from Investment Quebec. The company has executed one deal to date.SBQuantum specializes in advanced magnetic intelligence solutions through its core product, a novel quantum magnetometer. This innovative device utilizes nitrogen vacancy (NV) diamonds to create a precise, localized magnetic model of the Earth. By measuring the quantum state of electron pairs in NV centers, the magnetometer produces detailed insights into the fluctuations of the Earth's magnetic field, which can be visualized through a custom dashboard. The primary applications of this technology include improving navigation for autonomous vehicles in GPS-denied environments, enhancing military operations through magnetic signal interpretation, and providing non-intrusive security solutions that surpass traditional metal detectors. SBQuantum aims to serve clients across various sectors, including defense and security, as well as industries requiring enhanced navigation capabilities, particularly in urban and underground settings. Geographically, the company targets markets that encounter challenges with existing navigation systems, including regions with complex urban infrastructure or limited GPS access.SBQuantum generates revenue primarily through B2B transactions, partnering with clients in defense, security, and technology sectors that require advanced magnetic sensing capabilities. The company structures its transactions through partnerships and direct sales, offering tailored solutions to meet specific client needs. Clients may subscribe to ongoing services or purchase individual units of the quantum magnetometer, which is positioned as a flagship product. Given the sophisticated nature of the technology, pricing structures are designed to reflect the value provided in terms of enhanced navigation and security intelligence. By focusing on high-impact applications, SBQuantum establishes contracts that ensure continuous engagement with its customer base, thereby reinforcing its market presence and fostering long-term relationships with key stakeholders in the sectors it serves.In April 2026, SBQuantum raised USD 4.00 mn in SEED funding co-led by new investors Quantonation and Quantacet, with participation from another new investor Investment Quebec. The company plans to use this funding to expand its team, accelerate product development, and support commercial growth in quantum sensing systems for navigation and threat detection. Future initiatives include the design and launch of new products targeted at enhancing magnetic sensing capabilities, with specific emphasis on expanding into markets that face limitations with existing navigation technologies.
