Build the future of quantum
The Roadrunner Quantum Lab offers quantum startups the infrastructure, equipment, and talent they need to research, prototype, and scale faster.
Affordable infrastructure built for scaling quantum
Every resource at Roadrunner Quantum Lab supports the demands of quantum entrepreneurs, from qubit benchmarking to algorithm design to day-to-day operations.
Lab space
Each of our laboratory spaces can support multiple optical tables, cryostat systems, or other equipment to support your experimentation or manufacturing needs
Testbeds & equipment
Rapidly validate your tech on neutral atom and solid state computing testbeds, an algorithm development center, an entanglement-based network, and other advanced infrastructure
Office space
Professional workspace designed for resident teams to operate day-to-day alongside fellow quantum companies
Commercialization support
Founders can bring their venture-scale innovation to market with support from Roadrunner Venture Studios. Companies at all stages can accelerate their roadmaps through National Labs collaboration.
New Mexico backs your growth
Roadrunner Quantum Lab is a venture of Roadrunner Venture Studios, a team with deep roots in New Mexico's innovation economy and longstanding relationships across the national laboratory system, the quantum research community, and the technology sector. We built RQL because we believe the infrastructure for quantum commercialization should not be an obstacle. Our job is to make sure it is not yours.
Venture studio
For prospective founders and early stage startups, Roadrunner Venture Studios can provide wrap-around commercialization support, investment, nondilutive funding.
Job creation incentives
New Mexico’s Job Training Incentive Program (JTIP) can reimburse 50-90% of wages paid to your employees for the first six months.
Talent pipeline
From PhDs or hands-on technicians, our universities are leading the way in creating the quantum-ready workforce.
Universal childcare
The Roadrunner Quantum Lab sits at the heart of Albuquerque’s Innovation District, fueling prosperity well beyond the quantum ecosystem alone.
Additional incentives
New Mexico appropriated $140 million for quantum in 2026 alone. Follow the Economic Development Department for how to tap into these incentives.
Your network extends
beyond our walls
RQL residents gain access to a broader New Mexico quantum infrastructure that would take years to build independently. These facilities and programs are designed to complement your work and reduce operational risk from day one.
