Insider Brief
- Elevate Quantum has opened a cryogenic testing lab that provides access to 10 mK environments for developing and validating quantum hardware and software.
- The facility integrates a dilution refrigerator, advanced control systems, and a next-gen QPU to support turnkey quantum product development.
- The lab was qualified with NIST Boulder and will triple capacity with a larger Quantum Commercialization Lab opening in 2026.
PRESS RELEASE — Elevate Quantum today announced the launch of its state-of-the-art Cryogenic Testing Lab, providing quantum companies with access to the coldest place on Earth, for testing and developing quantum technologies.
Purpose-built for startups, researchers, and industry partners driving quantum commercialization, the new lab enables quantum hardware and software testing at temperatures as low as 10 millikelvin (mK) — colder than deep space — creating the conditions necessary to maintain and manipulate quantum states with precision and stability.
The facility integrates a suite of industry-leading quantum technologies, including:
- Maybell Quantum Dilution Refrigerator – A cutting-edge cryogenic system capable of cooling to 10 mK, providing the ultra-low temperatures essential for operating superconducting quantum processors.
- Quantum Machines Control Stack – Advanced control and readout electronics that enable researchers to execute and optimize complex quantum experiments with high fidelity and flexibility.
- Conscience Quantum Processing Unit (QPU) – A next-generation quantum chip platform designed for robust performance and scalability in real-world R&D environments.
Together, these components form a turnkey system for quantum product development and testing, empowering users to accelerate innovation and reduce time-to-market for quantum technologies.
Elevate Quantum’s Cryogenic Testing Lab has been qualified, calibrated, and characterized in partnership with the NIST Boulder Cryogenic Quantum Testbed Lab, ensuring the highest levels of precision, reliability, and performance for users.
“This lab represents a critical piece of infrastructure for the growing quantum ecosystem,” said Jeff Tyler, Director of the Quantum Commercialization Lab. “By giving companies access to the same caliber of equipment used by national labs and leading research institutions, we’re helping them move faster from prototype to product without taking on major equipment and facility investments.”
Elevate Quantum will expand its testing capacity threefold with the opening of the Quantum Commercialization Lab at the Quantum Commons in March 2026. The 14,000-square-foot, multi-user facility will provide expanded access to cryogenic testing and collaborative workspace in addition to supporting other quantum modalities—further accelerating quantum technology development in Colorado and the Mountain West.
