1%Maybell Quantum to establish New Mexico operations as part of New Mexico's $450 million quantum initiative. Insider Brief * Maybell Quantum announced plans to establish operations at New Mexico's Roadrunner Quantum Lab, adding cryogenic infrastructure and local jobs to the state's quantum ecosystem. * The company will deploy four dilution refrigerators at the facility to provide low-temperature testing capabilities for quantum startups and researchers. * Maybell joins Qunnect and QuEra Computing as quantum companies contributing infrastructure to New Mexico's $450 million quantum initiative. Press release - Maybell Quantum today announced it will establish operations at the Roadrunner Quantum Lab Powered by the State of New Mexico. Maybell will expand into the state with new local hires and a fleet of advanced cryogenic systems capable of reaching temperatures near Absolute Zero. The Colorado-based company becomes the third leading quantum company to anchor the state's quantum initiative, deploying four dilution refrigerators that give entrepreneurs the hardest-to-source infrastructure they need to test, validate, and scale quantum breakthroughs. "Too many quantum founders burn years - and millions of dollars - assembling the infrastructure they need to prove their technology works," said Corban Tillemann-Dick, CEO of Maybell Quantum. "New Mexico is taking a different approach by bringing those resources together in one place. By making Maybell's dilution refrigerators available alongside control electronics, computing, and networking infrastructure, this initiative lowers barriers to entry and helps promising technologies reach the market faster." Maybell's expansion goes beyond hardware. The company will build a team on the ground at the Roadrunner Quantum Lab (RQL) to drive ecosystem development, support customers, and recruit new tenants. Its dilution refrigerator facilities are engineered to run multiple companies at once, with room for five or more teams and 20 to 30 researchers across dedicated lab environments. Maybell's cryogenic systems provide the ultra-low temperatures required to create and maintain quantum states in certain materials. This is especially critical for superconducting and spin qubit quantum processors, which need to be cooled to millikelvin temperatures to operate. "We consistently heard from companies that access to infrastructure and testing sites was the main constraint in commercializing their technologies," said Nora Meyers Sackett, Director of the Technology and Innovation Office at Economic Development New Mexico. "We are solving this problem by making New Mexico a facilities launchpad for quantum startups. We're building the infrastructure and bringing companies in around it. These commitments show that our strategy is working." Maybell, whose cryogenic systems are trusted by innovators in leading research institutions, startups, hyperscalers, and others around the world, is the third leading quantum company to commit infrastructure to New Mexico under the latest initiative. The company joins Qunnect, which launched the nation's first open-access quantum network in Albuquerque, and QuEra Computing, which committed a $4 million quantum computing testbed to the RQL. The commitments give founders access to the core equipment needed to develop quantum technologies, from quantum sensors to new qubit architectures. The facility is designed to support five or more startup teams with dedicated space for testing, development, and commercialization. "We made a promise to New Mexico that if we built the infrastructure, the best quantum companies would follow," said Adam Hammer, CEO and Co-founder of Roadrunner Venture Studios. "Maybell proves that bet was right. Their commitment, and the commitments of our other partners, show that targeted investment can attract world-class partners and build the next generation of quantum technology right here in Albuquerque." In August 2025, as part of the state's $450 million quantum investment, Economic Development New Mexico committed $25 million to a public-private partnership led by Roadrunner Venture Studios. That partnership established a quantum venture studio and the RQL. Since then, Qunnect, QuEra Computing, and now Maybell Quantum have committed infrastructure to the initiative, while startups, universities, and national laboratories including Aliro, Sandia, Los Alamos, and the University of New Mexico have begun utilizing its resources months before groundbreaking. With the addition of Maybell, the state-backed quantum lab will now offer a full-stack testing environment for early-stage quantum companies, allowing founders to move from concept to validated technology faster and more efficiently than anywhere else in the world. The facility is expected to open to tenants and the public in the fall. Mohib ur rehman.

QuantWare rolls out quantum infrastructure at record speed. Dutch company QuantWare, together with Elevate Quantum, Q-CTRL, Qblox, and Maybell Quantum, has launched the first commercially deployable Quantum Open Architecture system in the US. The Quantum Platform for the Advancement of Commercialization (fortunately abbreviated to Q-PAC) is now operational in Denver, Colorado. It was built in less than five months. The Q-PAC system is running in Elevate Quantum's Commercialization Lab on the Quantum Commons campus in Denver. The collaborating parties state that they achieved this in less than five months at a fraction of the cost of closed, full-stack quantum systems. Furthermore, such a rapid rollout in the US is unprecedented. QuantWare, a Dutch company based in Delft, says it is not only advancing quantum technology but also helping to shape how quantum infrastructure is rolled out. The latter is expected to be a constantly evolving landscape until sometime in the 2030s, if Techzine is to believe the roadmaps of various quantum players regarding when quantum computing will truly break through. Such predictions are always highly prone to error, but QuantWare can already play a significant role in making that anticipated quantum breakthrough a reality. QPUs are promising. Founded in 2021 as a spin-off from Delft's Technical University and QuTech, QuantWare supplies the quantum processing unit (QPU) for the platform. The company raised 20 million euros in a Series A funding round early last year and announced plans shortly thereafter for its own chip factory in Delft. QuantWare is currently considered the world's largest volume supplier of QPUs. The system runs on QuantWare's 17-qubit Contralto-A QPU. Qblox provides the modular electronics for controlling the system, Maybell Quantum supplies the cryogenic cooling infrastructure, and Q-CTRL's software manages AI-driven calibration via Boulder Opal. Together, these components form an open reference architecture that gives users full visibility into all components - without the "black box" limitations of other quantum systems. QUB architecture as the foundation. Q-PAC is based on the Quantum Utility Block (QUB), an open, modular, and validated framework that QuantWare, Q-CTRL, and Qblox announced in November. Q-PAC is the first full commercial implementation of this framework. Elevate Quantum COO and CFO Jessi Olson describes the system as "not a research testbed," but a "fully reproducible, commercial-grade quantum system." The platform is available to companies, researchers, and government entities that want to experiment with quantum computing without building a full infrastructure themselves. Of course, the most important step for quantum has yet to come: making the technology production-ready. Roadmap to 100 qubits and NVIDIA integration. The current 17-qubit system has a clear upgrade path. The same infrastructure will support QuantWare's 100-qubit-class processors by 2027, allowing users to scale up without replacing the hardware. Through a partnership with Arrow Electronics, the consortium is also working on integrating a GPU cluster server via NVIDIA NVQLink. This connection is designed to deliver ultra-low latency without requiring FPGA programming. This enables faster calibration and more efficient hybrid workloads for organizations deploying Q-PAC within an HPC environment.
Elevate Quantum and partners launch nation's 1st Quantum Open Architecture system in record time. March 17, 2026 Press play to listen to this content Colorado's Quantum Commons becomes home to the first fully open, commercially deployable quantum system in the U.S., strengthening the state's leadership in quantum commercialization DENVER, March 17, 2026 - Elevate Quantum, in collaboration with Q-CTRL, QuantWare, Qblox, Maybell Quantum, and Arrow Electronics have announced the fully operational launch of the Quantum Platform for the Advancement of Commercialization (Q-PAC), marking the nation's first commercially deployable Quantum Open Architecture system and the fastest quantum infrastructure deployment ever completed in the United States. The system, first announced in November 2025, advanced from concept to full operation in just five months and at a fraction of the cost compared to closed, full-stack systems. Thus demonstrating a new, more effective model for the rapid deployment of sovereign quantum capability. Since the concept was introduced, Elevate Quantum and its partners completed an accelerated buildout of the system using the Quantum Utility Block (QUB) architecture, an open, modular, and validated framework that enabled the team to stand up a fully functional quantum system at unprecedented speed. The rapid deployment confirms that QUB is now the fastest path to establish operational quantum infrastructure without multi-year development cycles, and is readily available for procurement. The system is now live at Elevate Quantum's Commercialization Lab on the Quantum Commons campus in Denver, providing users with integrated access to a complete quantum computing stack, from quantum processors and control electronics to cryogenic infrastructure and advanced autocalibration and circuit optimization software. "Q-PAC proves that the United States can deploy quantum systems at commercial velocity," said Elevate Quantum COO and CFO Jessi Olson. "This is not a research testbed. It is a fully reproducible, commercial-grade quantum system where companies can test-drive their quantum future before they build their own." The initial quantum processing unit (QPU) launches with 17 qubits, with a clear upgrade path aligned to QuantWare's QPU roadmap. The same platform will support 100-qubit-class processors heading into 2027, allowing supported Q-PAC use-cases to scale without replacing infrastructure. Qblox's modular control electronics will deliver high-fidelity connectivity to all QPU components, ensuring stable and precise operation across the system, while Maybell Quantum's cryogenic wiring and refrigeration infrastructure will provide the robust ultra-low temperature environment needed for reliable performance. Together, the hardware stack forms a transparent, open reference architecture that gives enterprise users full visibility into system components and behavior, avoiding the "black box" limitations of proprietary systems. Q-CTRL's infrastructure software bridges the gap between raw hardware and the utility-scale problems industry needs to solve. Reliable operation is driven by Boulder Opal Scale-Up, which provides AI-driven automation for calibration and control. This ensures reproducible performance and dramatically reduces engineering overhead to keep quantum systems online. When combined with Fire Opal for error suppression and circuit performance management, the system becomes a fully functional quantum computer block ready for algorithmic execution and enterprise integration. Looking ahead, through its collaboration with Arrow Electronics, the QUB framework will include a GPU-cluster reference server integrated with the quantum hardware via NVIDIA NVQLink to provide ultra-low-latency compute without needing FPGA programming, enabling faster calibration, improved algorithmic execution, and more efficient hybrid workflow performance. This native connection and interoperability across quantum and classical compute resources transform Q-PAC into a complete, hybrid compute platform ready to deliver the most advanced compute capabilities for organizations deploying within an HPC environment. The roadmap positions Elevate Quantum's Commercialization Lab as a global leader in HPC-native quantum computing and sets the stage for larger, more dynamic quantum systems. "The Q-PAC system is a significant step for Colorado's economic future, solidifying our state's leadership in the quantum industry while advancing national collaboration and quantum development," said Eve Lieberman, Executive Director of the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade. "This initiative is set to attract new investment, generate high-skill jobs across Colorado and the Mountain West, and accelerate the commercialization of cutting-edge technology, all through unprecedented public-private collaboration." With Q-PAC now operational, Elevate Quantum and its partners have delivered a new model for national quantum capability, one that is fast to deploy, open by design, and built for commercial use. The system is now available for companies, researchers, and government users seeking to explore, test, and prepare for their quantum future.

Maybell Quantum launches ColdCloud(R) distributed cryogenic platform. Maybell Quantum has unveiled ColdCloud(R), a patented cryogenic architecture designed to transition quantum computing from laboratory environments to industrial-scale datacenters. Unlike traditional dilution refrigerators that house all cooling stages in a single unit, ColdCloud centralizes the primary cooling power and distributes it to independent, modular nodes. This decoupled approach allows for cooldown times measured in hours rather than days and delivers more than 10x the energy efficiency of legacy systems, making it a critical foundation for scaling quantum infrastructure. The platform utilizes the Maybell-cycle, a proprietary cryogenic cycle that achieves liquefaction-class thermodynamic efficiency in a compact, deployable system. By separating the pre-cooling stage from the sub-Kelvin stage, ColdCloud improves efficiency at the 4-Kelvin stage by approximately 16x. Technical benchmarks indicate that the system requires 90% less electricity, 90% less cooling water, and up to 80% less Helium-3 per qubit compared to an equivalent array of standalone dilution refrigerators. The modular nodes can be independently tuned to temperatures below 10 millikelvin for superconducting qubits or set to higher temperatures for other quantum modalities and sensing applications. The architecture is protected by over 25 patents covering the centralized cooling mechanism, thermal transport, and system control methods. Maybell Quantum offers the platform in multiple configurations: * Research Scale: Ten nodes with 500uW of 100mK cooling power for less than $10 million. * Utility Scale: High-uptime systems for commercial research. * Datacenter Scale: Over a kilowatt of 4K cooling power supporting more than 1,000 nodes. The deployment of ColdCloud addresses the reliability bottlenecks of traditional cryogenics, where the projected mean time between failures for large-scale legacy arrays is often less than two weeks. The first ColdCloud system is scheduled to go online in late 2026, with broader deployments planned for 2027. Headquartered in Denver, Colorado, Maybell Quantum positions this platform as the essential infrastructure layer for reaching the million-qubit milestone and achieving practical, high-uptime quantum operations.
