Colorado’s Multimillion Dollar Investment in Quantum Gets 70-Acre Campus in Arvada
Two months after winning a $130 million federal grant to invest in a quantum computing hub in Colorado, members of a local consortium have acquired a 70-acre property in Arvada, attracted millions more in funding commitments, and, on Monday, put shovels to the ground.
That’s relatively quick in a realm where private industry must rely on public agencies and area universities to make decisions.
“Colorado and the Mountain West are on top not just because of the amazing scenic views but ultimately because of decades of innovation and startups that are right around risk taking and smart policy and startup entrepreneurialism,” Zachary Yerushalmi, CEO of the Elevate Quantum consortium, told a small crowd during the ceremonial groundbreaking. “Entrepreneurship is, of course, no stranger to Gov. Polis, and the support for this effort and wider advanced technology policies of the state going back decades is why we stand here today.”

Microsoft to Provide Priority Access to Reliable Quantum Hardware in Azure Quantum
Today, we continue to make advances that bring us closer to achieving it with our industry-leading partners, Quantinuum and Atom Computing. With both companies, we want to bring best-in-class solutions to the Azure Quantum platform, and collectively advance and scale resilient quantum capabilities.
In collaboration with Quantinuum, we applied our improved qubit-virtualization system to create and entangle 12 highly reliable logical qubits. This represents the largest number of entangled logical qubits, with the highest fidelity, on record.
Lastly, as we expand our Azure Quantum compute platform, we are excited to announce that Microsoft and Atom Computing are coming together to ultimately build the world’s most powerful quantum machine.
