Briefings
Diraq announced plans to establish a quantum R&D laboratory at Roadrunner Quantum Lab in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with operations expected to begin by the end of 2026. The facility will feature Maybell cryogenic equipment and a dedicated measurement engineering team focused on silicon spin-qubit systems. This expansion aligns with Diraq's goal of developing utility-scale quantum computing using CMOS-compatible manufacturing to reach 150,000 physical qubits on a single chip by 2029.
Key points
- Diraq signed a memorandum of understanding with the State of New Mexico to establish operations at Roadrunner Quantum Lab (RQL) in Albuquerque.
- The facility will include Maybell cryogenic equipment and a dedicated measurement engineering team to support silicon spin-qubit systems and utility-scale quantum computing.
Context and limitations
Operations are expected to begin by the end of 2026. Specific operational timelines beyond the initial announcement are not detailed in the source evidence.
