Berlin-based start-up Rydberg Photonics GmbH developments target a new generation of compact, scalable, and robust photonic solutions. The initial portfolio includes hybrid-integrated laser systems and optical frequency references – essential building blocks for quantum applications from sensing to computing. The company is a spin-off of the Ferdinand-Braun-Institut (FBH).
A new era of compact, scalable, and robust photonic solutions is being ushered in by Rydberg Photonics GmbH, a Berlin-based spin-off from the Ferdinand-Braun-Institut (FBH). The company builds on FBH’s unique hybrid micro-integration technology, developed over more than a decade with continuous support from the German Space Agency at DLR. This foundation enables Rydberg Photonics to turn complex photonic architectures into precision-engineered, industry-ready solutions.
At its core, the enterprise aims to meet the demanding form factor and performance requirements of next-generation quantum technologies, from sensing to computing. Its systems combine robustness, reliability, and scalability required for ambitious use cases.
From research to real-world impact
Rydberg Photonics leverages years of groundbreaking research at FBH to bring novel integrated photonics solutions to market. “Our mission is to accelerate market adoption of quantum technologies by providing industry-compatible, compact, scalable, and ultra-stable hybrid-integrated photonic systems,” explains Andreas Wicht, one of the co-founders of the company and head of FBHs Joint Lab Quantum Photonic Components. “By combining FBH’s deep technical foundations with entrepreneurial drive, we aim to become a key enabler in the rapidly evolving global quantum tech industry”, adds Günther Tränkle, Managing Director of Rydberg Photonics.
Hybrid-integrated laser systems for quantum applications– made in Berlin-Adlershof
Backed by an international team of photonics and quantum sensing experts, the startup’s initial focus is on narrow-linewidth, high power, and tunable hybrid-integrated laser systems as well as plug-and-play optical frequency references — crucial building blocks for real-world quantum applications. The company is already engaging in collaborations with academic and industrial partners while actively pursuing pilot projects and joint development programs.
Strategically located in Berlin-Adlershof, one of Europe’s leading science and technology parks, Rydberg Photonics benefits from access to world-class infrastructure, strong academic and industrial networks, and a vibrant innovation ecosystem. “Adlershof offers exactly the environment a deep-tech startup like ours needs to become a key driver in shaping the next generation of quantum technologies,” emphasizes Markus Krutzik, one of the co-founders of the company, head of FBH’s Joint Lab Integrated Quantum Sensors, and professor at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.
