The deal
- operator
- Quantinuum
Power
- Interconnection
- Water
- Not disclosed. Quantinuum's trapped-ion quantum processors use ultra-high-vacuum ion traps with laser cooling rather than dilution refrigerators, so cooling water is not a primary utility input for the R&D lab.
County water status: Moderate drought (D1) in Bernalillo County, week of 2026-11-03 (US Drought Monitor). Data centers are large water users for cooling; this is the neutral local water picture.
