Bridging the Gap in Quantum Hardware

Our Company

Quantum computing faces a number of engineering bottlenecks limiting practical deployment. A critical challenge lies in the manufacturability and scalability of the quantum readout chain. The first link on that chain is the traveling wave parametric amplifier (TWPA). While TWPAs are essential for low-noise amplification, they are generally fragile, bulky, hard to produce, and limit qubit scale.

At Bifrost Electronics, we’ve developed a new generation of TWPA technology that is small, robust, cost-effective, and scalable. Our technology enables mass qubit scaling within quantum systems, paving the way for reliable and commercially viable quantum architecture.

The Heimdall

Heimdall is a new type of TWPA. Constructed on non–Josephson-Junction (JJ) architecture, Heimdall breaks from traditional quantum-limited amplifier designs and offers a platform to feasibly scale resilient quantum systems.

Partnerships Development

Our story began with two master’s students at the School of Mines, facing a challenge familiar to many researchers: they needed specialized equipment for their research — in this case a TWPA, but what was available was too expensive and too fragile. So they asked, what if we built one ourselves?
 
The result was a smaller, stronger, and more efficient TWPA, affordable enough for labs and scalable enough for industry. That spirit of curiosity and collaboration still defines how we build technology, and partnerships, today. We’re proud to work alongside investors, researchers, and industry leaders driving the next era of quantum technology.

How We Can Help

We build the industry’s most scalable and cost-effective TWPAs. Our unique design eliminates the need for magnetic shielding, supports higher-density architectures, and simplifies integration. We are removing a barrier preventing quantum scale and utility, accelerating the path toward practical quantum computing.

In addition to all the benefits seen in superconducting systems, our magnetically insensitive architecture allows surface-mount integration at 10 mK or 4 K, offering a substantially lower noise floor than a High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) and eliminating loss and noise from coaxial lines and circulator arrays.

Bifrost’s scalable amplifier technology strengthens satellite communications, radar systems, and quantum sensing for next-generation defense applications.
