About QDIR
QDIR
QDIR (Quantum Dot Infrared) is a Chicago-based quantum imaging startup incorporated in 2020 by Matthew Ackerman and Professor Philippe Guyot-Sionnest from the University of Chicago. The company develops infrared imaging arrays using silicon microchips coated with mercury telluride quantum dots, creating cost-effective high-performance infrared detectors and cameras. QDIR’s quantum dot nanomaterial technology enables short-wave infrared imaging at significantly lower costs compared to traditional infrared detector technologies. The company joined Chain Reaction Innovations’ Cohort 4 at Argonne National Laboratory in June 2020, a two-year entrepreneurship program supporting early-stage quantum and energy technologies. QDIR’s colloidal quantum dot image sensors target applications in defense, industrial inspection, autonomous vehicles, medical imaging, and scientific research where infrared imaging capabilities are critical but traditional technologies are cost-prohibitive.
