Qolab describes itself as a quantum hardware company focused on scalable superconducting quantum computers. Its website says the company was founded in 2022 to pursue manufacturable superconducting quantum hardware, and that it applies advanced semiconductor fabrication and integration to address qubit yield and component integration. The company lists an office in Los Angeles, California, and a lab in Madison, Wisconsin.
According to the company, its technology includes a semiconductor-compatible window-junction process for superconducting qubit fabrication on 300 mm tools, as well as a wafer-scale integration architecture that bonds qubit and wiring wafers into modular tiles. Qolab also says it launched Qolab Start in 2025 as its first deployable superconducting QPU platform for hardware research and workforce development, offered on-premise or through cloud access. The homepage also states that Qolab announced $54.2 million in Series B financing and commitments led by UC Investments.
