Quantum Beam Optics Sweden AB is dedicated to transforming the field of
neutron scattering, a technique used to explore the structure and dynamics of
materials in physics, chemistry, biology, and materials science. Neutron
scattering requires massive, highly complex facilities known as neutron sources,
large-scale research infrastructures that can span kilometers in size and cost
billions of euros to build and operate. These facilities are essential for cutting-
edge research but are often limited by inefficient instrumentation, reducing their
scientific output and increasing operational costs.
At Quantum Beam Optics, we develop advanced polarizing neutron optics and
sensitive coatings that not only improve the performance, accuracy, and efficiency
of existing neutron scattering instruments but also enable entirely new types of
measurements and instrumentation that were previously impractical or
impossible.
We hold exclusive rights and proprietary knowledge for Fe/Si + ¹¹B₄C polarizing
neutron optics, which deliver higher reflectivity, improved polarization, and lower
background noise. Our technology reduces the need for large magnets and strong
magnetic fields, allowing for more compact, non-intrusive setups, and offers
greater heat resistance and reduced mechanical stress. This expands the range of
possible experiments and makes neutron scattering more accessible and
versatile. In addition, we provide custom coatings designed to enhance sensitivity
and enable in-situ neutron scattering experiments, giving researchers the ability
to collect clearer, more reliable data in real-time conditions. Our solutions support
both academia and industry, helping researchers achieve faster, cheaper, and
more conclusive scientific advancements, and, importantly, unlock entirely new areas of discovery.
