Summary
Zero Point Cryogenics will open its first US site in Illinois, adding more than 20 specialized jobs tied to the state’s quantum push.
Chicago’s Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park will use the Canadian company’s ultra-low-temperature refrigerators to support quantum computers and partner companies on the South Side.
Illinois is backing the project through its MICRO incentive program, while Zero Point committed to a substantial capital investment.
State leaders said Zero Point is one of only six companies globally able to design and manufacture the equipment, underscoring Illinois’ bid to build a broader quantum ecosystem rather than host a single machine.
