Elevate Quantum has established a cryogenic testing lab in Denver, Colorado, designed to accelerate the development and commercialization of quantum technologies. The facility enables testing at temperatures as low as 10 millikelvin, replicating conditions colder than deep space to stabilize and control quantum states. This lab integrates a Maybell Quantum dilution refrigerator, a Quantum Machines control stack, and a Conscience quantum processing unit to provide a turnkey environment for quantum product testing. Qualified and calibrated in partnership with the NIST Boulder Cryogenic Quantum Testbed Lab, this infrastructure represents a critical resource for startups, researchers, and industry partners.
Elevate Quantum’s New Cryogenic Testing Lab
Elevate Quantum recently opened a cryogenic testing lab in Denver, Colorado, designed to accelerate the development of quantum technologies. The facility provides temperatures as low as 10 millikelvin – colder than deep space – to stabilize and control quantum states. This ultracold environment is crucial for companies and researchers working to advance both quantum hardware and software, offering a key resource for innovation in the field.
The lab is equipped with advanced systems including a Maybell Quantum dilution refrigerator, capable of reaching the 10 millikelvin temperature, and a Quantum Machines control stack for high-fidelity experiment management. Additionally, it features a Conscience quantum processing unit built for scalable research and development. Elevate Quantum partnered with the NIST Boulder Cryogenic Quantum Testbed Lab to qualify and calibrate the lab, ensuring precision and reliability for users.
Looking ahead, Elevate Quantum plans to expand its capacity in March 2026 with the opening of a 14,000-square-foot Quantum Commercialization Lab at the Quantum Commons. This expansion will offer additional cryogenic testing capabilities, collaborative workspace, and support for a wider range of quantum modalities, further solidifying Colorado’s position as a hub for quantum development in the Mountain West.

Expansion of Quantum Testing Capacity
Elevate Quantum recently opened a cryogenic testing lab in Denver, designed to accelerate the development of quantum technologies. This facility provides testing at temperatures as low as 10 millikelvin – colder than deep space – crucial for stabilizing and controlling quantum states. Key equipment includes a Maybell Quantum dilution refrigerator and a Quantum Machines control stack, creating a complete environment for quantum product testing and reducing time to market for innovators.
The new lab was qualified and calibrated in partnership with the NIST Boulder Cryogenic Quantum Testbed Lab, ensuring precision and reliability in testing procedures. According to Jeff Tyler, director of the Quantum Commercialization Lab, this access to advanced equipment—comparable to that used by national labs—allows companies to move faster from prototype to product without significant capital investment.
Elevate Quantum is planning further expansion with the opening of a 14,000-square-foot Quantum Commercialization Lab in March 2026. This new facility, located at the Quantum Commons, will offer additional cryogenic testing capabilities, collaborative workspace, and support for diverse quantum modalities, contributing to the growth of quantum development in Colorado and the Mountain West.
By giving companies access to the same caliber of equipment used by national labs and leading research institutions, we’re helping them move faster from prototype to product without taking on major equipment and facility investments.
