Precision Testing.
Local Expertise.

Quantum RF Testing LLC was founded by three Albuquerque-based professionals with deep roots in government defense research and RF systems engineering. We created this company because New Mexico's growing technology ecosystem — including Kirtland AFB, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and an expanding quantum computing cluster — deserves a world-class local RF testing and design partner.

With nearly 17 years of RF experience each, our co-founders bring over 34 combined years of real-world expertise — backed by two Electrical Engineering degrees including a Master's from Texas A&M, and automated test system development capability across LabVIEW, Python, and MATLAB. We deliver the precision of a national laboratory with the responsiveness of a locally-owned independent shop.
