Now hiring in Toruń
Do the physics the future depends on.
We're a small team of physicists and engineers turning two decades of quantum research into fielded, verified systems. If you want your work to matter, you'll fit right in.
Why empiriQa
Rigor over hype.
Real hardware over slideware.
Truth over assumption.
Frontier science, shipped
Your work doesn't stop at a paper. We build entangled-photon sources and optical ground stations that go into the field and get independently verified.
A team that respects depth
Spun out of the quantum-optics lab at Nicolaus Copernicus University and backed by the European Space Agency's business incubator — you're surrounded by people who care about getting it exactly right.
Mission that matters
Quantum-safe security protects governments, defense and critical infrastructure. The stakes are real — and so is the impact of your work.

Quantum Optics Engineer
Engineering
Full-time · Toruń
Own the design and characterization of our entangled-photon sources, from optical layout through measured pair-generation performance.
- Design and align SPDC-based photon-pair sources for free-space and fiber QKD.
- Characterize brightness, heralding efficiency and g²(0) on the bench.
- Work with the V&V team to translate lab performance into fielded specs.
