Applied Quantum Materials (AQM) is an ISO 9001 certified Canadian company headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta, founded in April 2015 as a spin-out from the University of Alberta. AQM is a global leader in the design, synthesis, and manufacturing of silicon quantum dots (SiQDs), silica nanomaterials, HSQ photo resist, quantum dot sensors, nanocomposite polymers, and gold and magnetic nanoparticles. AQM's biocompatible silicon quantum dots (2-9 nm) offer high quantum yield and robust stability as an alternative to toxic heavy-metal quantum dots. CEO David Antoniuk holds a Ph.D. in engineering physics. AQM's materials serve Fortune 100 manufacturers of quantum computers, photonic and memory chips, sensors, and smart textiles, with applications in quantum computing, silicon photonics, quantum sensing, health sciences, display technology, and security. Sales climbed roughly 60% last fiscal year.
