SECTION II

The NIKET team.

NIKET has assembled a world-class leadership team with 250 years of combined expertise in quantum and advanced-materials physics, engineering, and commercialization.

Our staff has deep knowledge of mission-critical (un)classified use cases across all DHS-designated Critical Infrastructure Sectors, and is aligned with leading government and academic research institutes and private-sector Fortune 500 supply chains. Located in Tucson, Arizona, we are embedded in the world-class Arizona national-security, microelectronics / semiconductor, advanced integrated photonics, mining, and energy ecosystems.

SECTION V

NIKET Internal Research & Development (IR&D).

NIKET staff have a standing portfolio of high-value use cases across National Security, Mining & Critical Manufacturing, Energy and Water Infrastructure, Public Health, and other DHS Critical Infrastructure supply-chain vulnerabilities.

We can rapidly convert these IR&D efforts into Partner products and capabilities through the Pre-Feasibility and Feasibility Study process.
