About
Bifrost Electronics is a Colorado-based quantum hardware startup founded in 2025 and headquartered on the Elevate Quantum campus near Boulder. The company develops quantum readout and amplification hardware, creating a new class of traveling wave parametric amplifier (TWPA) that removes the need for Josephson Junctions. Its Heimdall TWPAs are unaffected by magnetic fields over 2T, so they require no shielding and can be packed densely in cryostats. CEO Zenith Tillemann-Dick notes that conventional quantum amplification devices are about the size of a cinder block, with 100,000 of them needed for a utility-scale quantum computer, while Bifrost has built equivalent technology on a 10mm chip. In July 2025, the company raised 2.5 million dollars in seed funding led by Caruso Ventures with Harlow Capital. Bifrost collaborates with U.S. industry leaders including FormFactor, Rigetti Computing, and Maybell Quantum Industries to tailor systems for commercial deployments.
