SBQuantum is a Sherbrooke quantum-sensing company developing nitrogen-vacancy diamond magnetometers and magnetic-mapping software for navigation, geophysical, defence, public-safety and space applications.
Operating context
SBQuantum develops nitrogen-vacancy diamond magnetometers and magnetic-mapping software for navigation, screening and geophysical sensing. A company presentation hosted by Teratec specifies one sensor configuration at 15 × 5 × 5 cm, 400 g and 4 W, with vector sensitivity below 1 nT/√Hz at 1 Hz and 40 Hz bandwidth; these are configuration-specific company figures. NGA identifies SBQuantum and Spire as a MagQuest CubeSat team whose geomagnetic data will be evaluated against WMM2025 to inform future WMM2030 data acquisition. That evaluation pathway does not establish accepted navigation accuracy or production readiness.
Canadian footprint
The MagAware award identifies 13717658 Canada Inc., trading as SBQuantum, at 805 rue Galt Ouest, suite 204, Sherbrooke, Quebec. In its April 16, 2026 announcement, SBQuantum states that engineering and intellectual property remain in Canada while a sister corporation, Zero Drift Technologies in Cambridge, Massachusetts, serves US government and prime-contractor opportunities. This is the company’s description of the operating arrangement; ownership percentages and IP licensing terms were not established.
Sherbrooke, Quebec is the published city-level context for SBQuantum. It does not imply a street address or exact facility location.
Quantum diamond magnetometer and magnetic-mapping system
Read technical summary
SBQuantum develops diamond-based quantum magnetometers and magnetic interpretation for sensing, navigation research and security applications. Spire confirms a March 2026 launch of a satellite carrying the SBQuantum sensor for NGA MagQuest. The programme proceeds through commissioning and scientific assessment of geomagnetic data for future World Magnetic Model acquisition decisions. This milestone supports orbital-demonstration maturity; it does not establish accepted WMM supply or an assured GPS-independent navigation product.
Evidence of maturity
Orbital demonstration launched in March 2026; NGA MagQuest April update described commissioning and future data evaluation. Final dataset acceptance and navigation performance were not recovered.
Commercial availability
Available for sensing, integration and development engagement. Confirm sensor configuration, magnetic-interference compensation, accuracy under platform motion and qualification evidence for the specific mission.
Core features
Diamond quantum magnetometry with magnetic interpretation algorithms
Spire-hosted orbital sensor demonstration for NGA MagQuest
Geomagnetic observations intended for NOAA and NASA assessment
Commissioning and evaluation distinct from operational data acceptance
CanadaBuys records the CAD 2,237,475.24 MagAware contract CW2445882, awarded April 14, 2026 to 13717658 Canada Inc. (SBQuantum), with an October 26, 2026 expiry. ISED is the listed buyer and PSPC the contracting authority. The award establishes contracted R&D activity, not CAF deployment or accepted navigation performance.
The U.S. National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency identifies SBQuantum and Spire as a MagQuest CubeSat team for orbital geomagnetic data collection; commissioning and evaluation remain underway.

Magnetic navigation and improved geomagnetic mapping could support positioning in GPS-denied northern environments; orbital commissioning and operational integration remain incomplete.
Which sensor configuration and interfaces are supplied under MagAware, and what test results establish accepted performance in the intended operating environment?
The Teratec presentation reports configuration-specific size, mass, power and sensitivity, while CW2445882 establishes an R&D award. Neither source establishes the delivered interface set or accepted navigation performance.

How are Canadian engineering, intellectual property and delivery responsibilities divided between SBQuantum and Zero Drift Technologies?
SBQuantum describes a US sister corporation while retaining engineering and IP in Canada. A customer would need the contracting entity, licence rights and support responsibilities for its intended purchase.
