## Q-Block's quantum clock device
Edmonton-based Q-Block Inc. makes quantum equipment that fits in a shoebox.

> Quantum systems have historically been built as bespoke laboratory assemblies, each shaped around the people who built it and the room it occupied
## Shoebox quantum tech for field use
Q-modules work at room temperature without lab conditions for precise timing.
## AllanQ quantum clock
AllanQ provides unhackable timing for GPS-free navigation and networked computations.
## Q-modules for field deployment
Q-modules fit into standard electronics racks and can be bolted to aircraft, drones, and vehicles.
## Key takeaway

Q-Block's shoebox-sized quantum clock device works without lab conditions for precise timing in GPS-free environments.
