Summary
Elevate Quantum and a global team of partners have deployed the first U.S. Quantum Open Architecture system in Colorado. The modular Quantum Platform for the Advancement of Commercialization (Q-PAC) spans the full stack from QuantWare QPUs and Qblox control electronics to Maybell Quantum cryogenics and Q-CTRL software. It will be accessible both on-premises and via cloud QaaS, positioned at Elevate Quantum’s Quantum Commons campus to drive interoperability, commercialization, and broad access.
For security leaders, an open, modular architecture matters. It enables cross-vendor plug-and-play, clearer interfaces, and better transparency across hardware, firmware, and software layers, which improves risk assessment and supply chain assurance. On-prem access supports sensitive workloads and data governance, while cloud QaaS widens reach and will demand strong identity, isolation, telemetry, and compliance controls. The platform’s integrated stack also creates a practical environment to benchmark reliability, validate controls, and study side-channel exposure across cryo, control, and software layers.
Backed by state support, Q-PAC is framed as a national resource for companies, national labs, researchers, and students. For the Quantum Security Community, this is a chance to help set security baselines for open interfaces, test secure orchestration and monitoring across the stack, and shape interoperability standards that will influence how quantum capabilities are safely deployed in enterprise environments.
