Roadrunner Quantum Lab Opens in Albuquerque

Roadrunner Venture Studios and the New Mexico Technology and Innovation Office (TIO) today cut the ribbon on the Roadrunner Quantum Lab, powered by the State of New Mexico, a shared facility giving quantum startups access to advanced

infrastructure, equipment and hands-on training.

Situated in Albuquerque’s Innovation District, the facility gives quantum

startups, industry partners and national laboratories a common space to test, develop and bring quantum technologies to market. The new facility includes a multi-node quantum network, dilution refrigerators, a quantum testbed, quantum demonstration facilities and lab space tailor-made for quantum information science. Paired with New Mexico’s national lab network and quantum-ready workforce, Roadrunner Quantum Lab gives resident companies a national launchpad. Nearly a dozen partners from public, private and academic sectors have signed on as tenants.

The lab’s opening is the latest step in a partnership that began just over a year ago, when the State of New Mexico selected Roadrunner Venture Studios and its coalition partners to establish and operate a quantum venture studio and dedicated quantum facility backed by $25 million in state support. Since then, the effort has grown to include a dedicated Company and Founder-in-Residence program, a capital network for New Mexico-based quantum startups, a quantum demonstration facility joint venture between Sandia and Los Alamos National Laboratories, and a $4 million strategic partnership with QuEra Computing to build out testbed infrastructure at the Roadrunner Quantum Lab.
