Bluefors has opened its first U.S.-based lab facility in Chicago, Illinois, expanding its Bluefors Lab service to North America for the first time. The new lab provides startups, research groups, and organizations with access to cryogenic measurement systems through a service-based model, enabling customers to test hardware and software solutions without investing in their own cryogenic infrastructure.
Located in a global hub for quantum research, Chicago is home to institutions like the Chicago Quantum Exchange and The Bloch Quantum Tech Hub, making it an ideal location to support advancements in quantum technology.
Bluefors Lab Expands to Chicago
Bluefors has announced the opening of a new lab facility in Chicago, marking their first expansion into the United States. This strategic move positions Bluefors to serve startups, research groups, and organizations across North America with access to advanced cryogenic measurement systems.
The Bluefors Lab service offers customers a unique model where they can test hardware and software solutions without the need for significant investment in their own cryogenic infrastructure. This includes consultation and support services, allowing users to focus on their experiments while leveraging expert technical assistance.
Building on the success of their initial lab in Delft, Netherlands, which opened in 2023 with an LD system later expanded to include XLDsl technology, Bluefors is now bringing similar capabilities to Chicago. The new facility features state-of-the-art equipment, including an LD400 dilution refrigerator equipped with optical access and a cryogen-free superconducting magnet.
Additionally, the Chicago lab provides access to Quantum Machines’ OPX 1000 hybrid control electronics, supporting up to five qubit measurements. Users can also benefit from QuantrolOx’s QuantumEDGE software as an add-on service, enhancing their research capabilities with fully automated QPU characterization and tune-up features.
Choosing Chicago reflects its status as a hub for quantum research, home to leading institutions and companies in the field. This expansion underscores Bluefors’ commitment to fostering advancements in quantum technology globally.
As Anssi Salmela, Chief Technology Officer, noted, this milestone not only expands Bluefors’ reach but also aims to accelerate innovation in quantum computing by providing researchers with cutting-edge tools and support.
