Qunnect announced today that ABQ-Net, America’s first open-access entanglement-based quantum network, is now live in New Mexico. The network will support startups and companies as a testbed for the development of commercial quantum technologies and launches with two active nodes connected over commercial fiber.
QuEra Computing and Roadrunner Venture Studios today announced a $4M strategic partnership to build a quantum testbed at the Roadrunner Quantum Lab (RQL) powered by the State of New Mexico in Albuquerque. QuEra’s commitment includes running facilities with full-time hires in state, making Albuquerque’s Innovation District a world-class center for quantum companies.
ABQ-Net is New Mexico’s first quantum network and a cornerstone of the state’s $300 million commitment to building a quantum economy. Developed in partnership with Qunnect, the leader in next-generation quantum networks, ABQ-Net applies the public investment toward talent attraction and company creation as quantum commercialization accelerates across the state.
If you’re a scientist, engineer, or postdoc working on breakthrough quantum research, you’ve likely asked yourself what it would take to turn your breakthrough ideas into a real company. Not a research paper or a prototype, but a funded, scaling startup that’s solving customer pain points, attracting venture capital, and moving the field forward.
Yesterday, the venture studio announced that it will lead a $25M initiative backed by the New Mexico Economic Development Department to build a quantum campus in downtown Albuquerque. The idea is to bring startups, researchers, and major companies working to develop quantum computing capabilities to the beautiful southwest to supercharge US quantum compute.
Soon, the six-block corridor between Lomas, Broadway, Central and Second will house one of the nation’s most important quantum hubs in the world. There, a group of quantum founders, scientists and researchers will turn quantum science into startups and set a new standard for how the United States innovates at the frontier of technology.
