Quantum
Design, a privately held company, was incorporated in the state of California
in 1982. The Company was established to provide customers with design and
engineering capabilities in specific areas of applied physics. Originally
conceived as a hardware-oriented research and development firm, Quantum
Design’s success as an instrument company came with its unique expertise
in the use and development of low-temperature SQUIDs (Superconducting Quantum
Interference Devices). These ultra sensitive cryogenic transducers, normally
configured as magnetic field sensors, became the heart of highly sophisticated
measuring systems in a broad range of applications. Benefiting from patented
designs and processes, Quantum Design has become the leading commercial
source for components and integrated systems incorporating superconducting
technology. Such application areas include materials characterization, high-sensitivity
electrical measurements, and defense-related magnetic anomaly detection. |
