Diraq's expansion into New Mexico marks a strategic push toward commercializing silicon-based quantum processors by leveraging standard CMOS foundry infrastructure. This move, supported by DARPA funding and specialized cryogenic equipment, aims to scale qubit production to millions on a single chip, addressing the industry's need for utility-scale quantum computers. The initiative underscores a shift from experimental prototypes to practical manufacturing capabilities within the U.S. semiconductor ecosystem.
Diraq expands to New Mexico with a quantum lab for silicon chips
Diraq is expanding its U.S. presence with a new quantum R&D lab in Albuquerque, New Mexico, supported by state funds and DARPA’s Quantum Benchmarking Initiative.
Diraq will establish a new research and development laboratory in Albuquerque, New Mexico, equipped with Maybell cryogenic equipment for advanced device characterization. The expansion, supported by matching funds from the state as part of the DARPA Quantum Benchmarking Initiative’s Stage B, aims to accelerate the company’s progress toward building utility-scale quantum computers. “Roadrunner Quantum Lab is focused on bringing quantum computing to market,” said Diraq…
