Roadrunner Venture Studios says QuEra will anchor its Downtown Albuquerque quantum lab

Most quantum computers require complex cooling systems, large amounts of space and an abundance of energy to operate. 

But QuEra’s approach to quantum computing — its technology can run at room temperature, fit in a home garage and use just 10 kilowatts of power — could be the key to delivering the technology’s promise sooner. 

The Massachusetts-based company, alongside Roadrunner Venture Studios, announced Monday a $4 million partnership to build a quantum testbed at the Roadrunner Quantum Lab in Albuquerque.

The partnership follows New York-based Qunnect’s November launch of ABQ-Net, New Mexico’s first quantum network. Both companies are part of the larger $300 million push by the state to establish its quantum hub through Roadrunner’s coalition, joining Elevate Quantum, Sandia National Laboratories, Los Alamos National Laboratory, the University of New Mexico and others.
