We are excited to welcome Micah Probst to our team as our Warehouse Technician!

He graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder in May 2025 with a BA in Philosophy. He most recently worked with the university in the receiving department for the JSCBB (Biotech) building. While he has a strong interest in abstract thinking and writing, he finds the greatest fulfillment in hands-on, tangible work, especially when it advances technology or improves people’s lives.

Outside of work, Micah is an avid reader and writer who enjoys exploring philosophical ideas through his own writing. A Colorado native, he has been rock climbing for eight years and training in various martial arts for over 15 years, which he also teaches part-time. He also spends time painting and exploring his creative side.

Welcome, Micah! Happy to have you here!

to the Quantum Pre-Standardization Workshop: Metrology for Quantum Technologies hosted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

Several members of the Vescent team participated throughout the workshop, contributing to conversations around the measurement, characterization, and standards infrastructure that support the development and deployment of quantum technologies.

Scott Davis, CEO — delivered the keynote: “NMIs: The Hidden Engine Powering the Quantum Revolution.”

Kurt Vogel, CTO — panelist for Measurement Challenges for Quantum Enabling Technologies

Andrew Attar, Director of Product Development — moderator for Quantum Sensing Measurement Needs

It was great to join researchers, industry leaders, and metrology experts in discussing the measurement foundations helping accelerate the quantum ecosystem.

We’re excited to launch Vescent’s 2026 Innovation Award: Contest To Win a RUBRIComb®!

Researchers at U.S. universities and non-profit research institutions are invited to submit a short proposal describing how they would use a RUBRIComb® optical frequency comb system across applications in quantum technologies, precision timing, spectroscopy, photonics, sensing, and beyond.

One selected proposal will receive a RUBRIComb® system and SLICE FPGA-II locking platform to support their research efforts.

Update: The Innovation Award Contest is now closed.

Are you a researcher at a US-based university or non-profit research institution? Do you want a frequency comb to advance your research? Do you like getting high-value lab equipment for free? You're in the right place!

We are excited to welcome Derik Kraych to our team as our new Fiber Optics System Technician!

After a five-year stint in the military, Derik moved to New York City for college, where a longstanding interest in math led him to pursue a degree in physics. During his studies, he participated in astrophysics research focused on the search for dark matter and continued in that work for two years after graduating. Through this experience, he discovered a passion for tackling novel problems and applying his skills in meaningful ways.

Outside of work, Derik stays active and enjoys exploring the outdoors. Having grown up in Michigan without much elevation, he finds the mountains in Colorado especially compelling and spends time hiking, camping, and cycling, primarily on the road, though he’s increasingly tempted to pick up trail biking. He also enjoys dancing, live music, and catching the occasional hockey game.

Welcome, Derik! Happy to have you here!
