Occam Foundry. A quantum technology campus in Austin.

The field is complex. The idea is simple: put the people building quantum technology under one roof.

A quantum technology campus in Austin.

The field

Quantum technology is more than computing.

It uses the behavior of matter at its smallest scale to do things ordinary machines cannot. The field runs wider than any one use of it.

Computing

Solving problems that overwhelm ordinary machines.

Sensing

Measuring the physical world with new precision.

Networking

Moving information that cannot be quietly copied.

Timing

Keeping clocks accurate enough to change how we navigate.

These areas share the same physics, and often the same people. A result in one moves the others, yet the work is usually spread across separate labs, companies, and cities.

Occam Foundry brings it together in Austin. University teams, startups, and a live quantum system sit steps from the fabrication that turns a design into working hardware. Proximity is the point. Ideas move faster when the person with the answer is down the hall.

On the property

A working quantum system.

A place like this anchors an industry. It gives Texas a seat at the center of a field redrawing computing, security, and measurement, and a reason for the talent and companies shaping it to put down roots. The work stays here, and so do the people who do it.

The campus

One campus. Everything the field needs, in one place.

The Quantum Hub

The heart of the campus, home to a live quantum system and co-working space where startups build alongside the machine.

Programs

A campus with a pulse.

Occam Foundry runs on a calendar. The year is anchored by an annual conference that marks progress across the field and the momentum of the startups on the property. In between, regular programming, talks, and gatherings keep the campus busy and bring the region's researchers, builders, and neighbors together.

Location

Austin. Minutes from everything that matters.

01
About 15 minutes from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, so researchers, partners, and guests arrive with ease.
02
About 25 minutes from downtown Austin and its talent, hotels, and culture.
03
In a city the world already visits every March for South by Southwest, which gives the campus a natural stage and a steady flow of the people shaping technology.

Built on part of roughly sixteen and a half acres, the campus is designed to grow. This is a first phase, with room to expand as the field advances and Texas builds its place in it. The land is secured and the first buildings are drawn. There is room here for the state, its universities, and its companies to build alongside us.
