Quantum + AI Tour: Field Trip into the Future
Location: Boulder & Broomfield
Arriving Early? Join Us for a Quantum Innovation Tour
If you're coming to Boulder a half-day early, don’t miss our exclusive tour of America’s most concentrated quantum innovation cluster—Boulder and Colorado's Front Range.
Boulder is the nation's quantum hub, home to a rare fusion of Nobel-level science, pioneering startups, and federal labs. CU Boulder anchors the ecosystem with cutting-edge research in quantum computing and sensing, supported by national institutes and a new wave of venture-backed companies.
Let’s pause on this: Five Nobel Laureates—four in physics—call CU Boulder home. That level of intellectual firepower is almost unheard of, especially in a frontier field like quantum.
Colorado is also a top-tier tech economy, with the third-highest concentration of tech workers per capita in the U.S. Boulder’s startup scene is powered by organizations like Techstars and companies such as Zayo and Level 3. Innovation runs deep here.
And it’s beautiful, too. Mid-September to mid-October is peak Boulder—golden aspens, cool air, and the Flatirons glowing against crystal clear blue skies. Chautauqua trails, outdoor festivals, and a thriving farmers’ market make it the perfect long weekend destination.
On our tour, we plan visit a few leading quantum startups and labs that are pioneering the convergence of quantum computing and AI. Potential stops include:
- Atom Computing – $100M+ investment into cold atom quantum hardware
- Infleqtion (formerly ColdQuanta) – Leaders in quantum networking and sensing
- Quantinuum – Born from Honeywell and Cambridge Quantum
- Oxford Ionics – Newly expanded to Boulder from the UK
- CU Boulder Quantum Labs – Home to four Nobel Laureates and deep NIST collaboration
Topics:
- How AI and quantum will intersect over the next 3–5 year
- What’s real (and what’s hype) in Quantum Machine Learning (QML)
- Recent breakthroughs and timelines for scaled quantum
- How policy and public funding are shaping Colorado’s quantum corridor
This is a rare peek inside a globally important science and tech ecosystem.
Let us know by replying to quantum@iterate.ai if you'd like to join the tour—so we can get a headcount reserve your spot. The final agenda for this peek into Quantum will be completed mid-summer.
5:00pm — 6:30pm
Welcome Reception
