Quantum Production
Throughout 2024 we planned a highly versatile space for an ambitious client in the Quantum Computing sector.
We helped to arrange a perfect location to build such a facility, in a former industrial complex which allowed to host such complex infrastructure.
There, the client plans to assemble, improve and ship custom Quantum Computer systems to their customers.

Project highlights
SLA provides an end-to-end service for projects, starting with understanding the workflow of our clients to handing over an operational facility.
Discover
To create a vision of the space and how it will be used, today and tomorrow, we thoroughly analyzed the requirements of the complex machinery and components that our client would need to test and assemble their products.
With rapid developments happening in the emerging Quantum field, building a future-proof facility is as critical as it is challenging.
Based on the workflow, capacity and spatial vision we mapped out what spaces need to be zoned next to each other to guarantee an efficient workspace with short paths.
Find
The client approached us early on, while still searching intensively for a suitable location that would provide enough power, floor weight support and ceiling height.
Within just a week, we managed to find the perfect space for the Quantum Facility through our network: an industrial building perfectly suited to the demanding tech, with minimal vibration, sufficient power, extensive floor loads and a large, open space to grow into.
In the decision process, we evaluated the feasibility of two different units, thoroughly assessing them against the infrastructural requirements.
ENTWERFEN
With the rapid evolution of the Quantum Computing industry in mind, we designed flexible, upgradeable rooms that can adapt to future technological needs. Despite working within an existing structure, we ensured every space met complex technical requirements while maintaining adaptability.
All walls in the facility are fully movable, allowing workflows to be easily optimized — from logistics and assembly to on-site testing. Power, cooling, and auxiliary systems like milli-Kelvin circuits were future-proofed with centralized infrastructure and expansion capacity, ensuring the lab remains ready for years of innovation.

Build
Beyond testing & production, this space would host offices and a representative reception area, in which our client can host clients and investors alike.
The office is designed to have multi utilitarian spaces – focus work, community spaces, collaboration zones and more for the growing team.
Büro
Very importantly, we planned this facility with maximum flexibility in mind.
Most walls, even the glass walls, can be moved, allowing for a reconfiguration of the space according to our client’s future needs.
Quantum makerspace? Production bay?
Quantum Production Bay
Quantum Computers come in various form factors but they have one thing in common: they are large, heavy and very sensitive to disturbance.
Thus we designed the facility accordingly: with removable inner walls, so that large payloads can be moved, even while other machines might be in operation and with a highly sophisticated protection system against any electromagnetic influence or vibrations alike.
For testing and operating Quantum Computers, any heat must be removed from the system in a controlled cooling process that takes several days. The Quantum bays are set up to connect to a centralized cooling system, which may be upgraded as technology progresses.
Finally, within each Quantum Bay, we reserve space, power and cooling for hosting various IT and control infrastructure: from a power hungry Quantum Control Unit to the high-end data servers.
Quantum Makerspace
In the Quantum Makerspace area, custom parts can be engineered and Qubits be prepared for cryostat integration.
For this purpose, we designed a number of dedicated workshop rooms suiting different use cases and cleanliness levels.
