Amazon has clarified that its acquisition of a 168,000-square-foot building at 2964 Bradley St. in Northern Pasadena will be dedicated to expanding its quantum computing research, not for an AI data center as rumored. The facility will support ongoing work that began with the AWS Center for Quantum Computing in collaboration with Caltech.

Concerns were raised at a City Council meeting regarding the potential for a data center, but city officials confirmed no applications have been submitted. The issue of data centers is being discussed in relation to their power consumption and impact on local infrastructure.
