How to bid on Maximum Length Sequence Phase Encoding for Quantum Sensor Readout from DOE
What the Department of Energy is buying
The Department of Energy (DOE) is offering a licensing opportunity for a new technology called "Maximum Length Sequence Phase Encoding for Quantum Sensor Readout." This innovation improves how quantum sensors detect signals in environments with a lot of background noise.
The technology uses a special phase-encoding pattern to help sensors tell the difference between real signals and interference. This means fewer false positives without needing extra shielding. Businesses involved in geophysical exploration, environmental monitoring, or other quantum sensing applications might find this technology useful for their products.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This opportunity was published on June 24, 2026. The deadline for responding is December 22, 2026, at 7:00 PM ET. This is the final time by which your response must be submitted.
The DOE is seeking to license this technology, not to hire for its development. Your response should focus on your interest in licensing and commercializing this invention.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for small businesses that develop or use quantum sensing platforms. This includes firms in areas like geophysical exploration, environmental monitoring, and other fields where sensors need to operate reliably in noisy outdoor or industrial settings.
The technology is compatible with various quantum sensing systems, including magnetic and electromagnetic types. Companies looking to enhance the robustness and signal discrimination of their detection systems would be a good fit.
