“Quantum is no longer a future technology, it’s becoming foundational to national security, scientific discovery, advanced sensing and space systems,” said Matt Kinsella, CEO at Infleqtion. “Neutral-atom technology was born out of research happening right here in Colorado, and it’s fueling a new generation of jobs, companies and breakthroughs. We see our new headquarters as both a reflection of our roots in Colorado and a convening point for the quantum ecosystem, including our partners across industry, national laboratories, research institutions and academia.”
The Colorado Quantum Innovation Center will serve as Infleqtion’s global headquarters and anchor facility in the region, supporting the company’s work across quantum computing and quantum sensing, including deployments with the U.S. Department of War, NASA, and the UK Royal Navy. The opening reflects the broader shift underway in the quantum industry, from scientific discovery toward industrial deployment at scale.
“Colorado is the epicenter of America’s quantum future, and Infleqtion’s new Quantum Innovation Center is proof of what’s possible when we invest in research, talent, and industry together,” said Rep. Brittany Pettersen (CO-07). “From our national laboratories to our universities to companies like Infleqtion, Colorado is building the ecosystem the quantum industry needs to thrive.”
The company is celebrating in an event featuring remarks from Colorado Governor Jared Polis, U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen and Louisville Mayor Chris Leh, alongside CU Boulder Chancellor Justin Schwartz, Elevate Quantum CEO Jessi Olsen, Infleqtion CEO Matt Kinsella and Infleqtion founder Dana Anderson. The ribbon-cutting also includes participation by representatives from the offices of U.S. Senators John Hickenlooper and Michael Bennet and U.S. Rep. Joe Neguse; members of the Louisville City Council; leadership from Elevate Quantum; Infleqtion employees; and leaders of the local quantum community.
The Boulder–Louisville–Broomfield corridor is home to more than 30 quantum companies and an ecosystem spanning industry, national laboratories, research institutions, and academia. The region’s roots trace to JILA, a joint institute of the University of Colorado Boulder and the National Institute of Standards and Technology founded in 1962, which has produced four Nobel Prize-winning physicists whose work laid the foundation for modern quantum science. Elevate Quantum, the federally designated Tech Hub for the region, anchors a broader consortium of more than 100 organizations across Colorado and the Mountain West.
