QTREX Launches Quantum Interconnect Research Program with Northeastern University and Commercialization Rights to Project IP

QTREX Quantum Ltd. (Nasdaq: QTEX) has launched a research collaboration with Northeastern University focused on advanced micro-system structures for cryogenic quantum interconnects. Under the agreement, QTREX receives a first option to negotiate a commercial license for intellectual property generated through the joint research. The program expands QTREX’s vertically integrated quantum connectivity platform by adding a structured innovation pipeline. Research will evaluate conductive, dielectric and superconducting materials under cryogenic conditions, led by Prof. Benyamin Davaji.

Zero Point Cryogenics Opens First US Innovation Hub at Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park

Zero Point Cryogenics is opening its first international Innovation and Service Hub at the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park in Chicago. The Canadian manufacturer of dilution refrigerators will supply cryogenic systems to the park and provide installation, maintenance, and technical support for US customers. Design and manufacturing remain based in Alberta. The expansion is supported by Illinois’ MICRO program and will create more than 20 specialized jobs. Chicago is the first of planned hubs in the United States, Europe, and Asia.

Interlune Produces 99% Pure Helium-3 from Domestic Helium Using Cold Capture Cryogenic Technology

Interlune has demonstrated production of 99% pure helium-3 from domestic Grade A helium using its Cold Capture cryogenic technology. Supported by an AFWERX SBIR contract, the system could triple U.S. helium-3 supply if deployed across existing liquefaction plants. The process meets growing demand from superconducting quantum computers while proving separation methods needed for future lunar resource recovery. Nearly $500 million in purchase agreements underpin the commercial pathway.

Helium: The Quantum Computing Coolant Facing Supply Risks

Helium’s limited availability is pivotal to quantum computing, where ultra-low temperatures are essential to stabilize qubits. Supply disruptions and geopolitical factors have made this rare resource increasingly expensive and uncertain. As quantum technologies expand, so does the demand—and risk—around helium’s tenuous supply.
