Governor Polis Celebrates Grand Opening of Colorado Quantum Innovation Center

LOUISVILLE - Today, Governor Polis joined Infleqtion to celebrate the grand opening of the Colorado Quantum Innovation Center, the company's new global headquarters in Louisville. Infleqtion is a global leader in quantum computing and quantum sensing powered by neutral-atom technology.

"Colorado is leading America's quantum future, and Infleqtion's new Quantum Innovation Center is further proof that our growing technology sector is drawing more businesses to our state every day and strengthening our economy," said Governor Polis.

The grand opening coincides with growing recognition of the Boulder-Louisville-Broomfield corridor as "America's Quantum Peak," which is home to more than 30 quantum companies and an ecosystem spanning industry, national laboratories, research institutions and academia. The region's roots trace back 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.

Two years ago, Colorado was recognized as a quantum leader securing over $40.5 million in federal funding as a designated Elevate Quantum Tech Hub. Over 35 quantum companies - the second highest number in the nation - call Colorado home, particularly in quantum sensing, materials and communications.
