December 03, 2025 -- By tapping into the suite of specialized equipment goingInfrastructure in Driving Quantum into Elevate Quantum’s shared-use Commercialization Lab—beginning with precision testing on the Vescent Optical Atomic Clock—Mesa Quantum is demonstrating how fast-growing quantum companies can validate, refine, and advance next-generation Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) technologies without the cost or delay of procuring and building out specialized infrastructure in-house. This collaboration shows how Elevate Quantum’s model is lowering barriers, speeding development timelines, and enabling breakthrough companies like Mesa Quantum to turn cutting-edge ideas into deployable technologies that strengthen the region’s leadership in quantum innovation.

“Access to Elevate Quantum’s Commercialization Lab and its world-class equipment stack—especially the Vescent atomic clock—is a game-changer for the kind of precision testing we’re doing at Mesa Quantum”, said Sristy Agrawal, CEO and Founder of Mesa Quantum. “Elevate’ s model fills a critical gap for fast-moving quantum companies like ours, lowering barriers and accelerating the path from idea to deployable technology. We’re excited to deepen our strategic relationship with Elevate Quantum and look forward to taking advantage of everything their Commercialization Lab has to offer. Our team’s access to this lab and the equipment there will be critical as we advance our next generation of quantum timing and
sensing solutions.”

Elevate Quantum provides quantum startups access to the lab and office space needed for companies to grow their businesses in its Quantum Commercialization Lab along with direct access to specialized equipment—such as the optical atomic clock, cryogenic infrastructure, its recently announced quantum system, and a range of other precision tools and prototyping
systems—all under one roof. The lab will further expand access to critical research and development technology for the Colorado quantum ecosystem.

A key example of this type of specialized equipment is the Vescent Optical Atomic Clock System, now available for use through Elevate Quantum’s shared-use facilities. This highly accurate, commercially supported timing platform provides quantum innovators with the precision required for next-generation PNT and sensing applications, accelerating product development and reducing
technical barriers.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Elevate Quantum and to see our optical atomic clock play a role in accelerating the next generation of critical quantum technologies,” said Scott Davis, CEO of Vescent. “Elevate Quantum is building exactly what this industry needs: shared-access infrastructure that removes barriers for startups while also creating a world-class research environment for scaling companies. Making equipment like ours accessible through the Commercialization Lab allows fast-moving teams to test, iterate, and innovate without waiting years or spending millions to stand up their own facilities. And with the upcoming Quantum Commons campus, Elevate is taking that model even further—creating a hub where companies of all sizes, including Vescent, can collaborate, co-locate, and drive commercialization and deployment in quantum sensing, timing, and computing.”

Elevate Quantum is helping create one of the most dynamic and accessible quantum ecosystems in the nation. Together with partners like Mesa Quantum and Vescent, Elevate Quantum is accelerating the path from breakthrough ideas to real-world technologies—and strengthening Colorado’s position at the forefront of the global quantum industry.
