Summary
College Park will host Quantum Motion’s first U.S. presence, with the U.K. silicon-quantum developer using Maryland’s Discovery District for commercial and public-sector operations.
The site puts the company closer to DARPA, the University of Maryland’s applied research lab and other federal defense and research customers it wants to serve and expand with.
Quantum Motion joins a growing cluster in and around the Discovery District, where Microsoft has a research center and Finland’s IQM opened its first U.S. quantum technology center.
Maryland launched its Capital of Quantum initiative in 2025 and says it has already secured more than $500 million in quantum-related investment, with additional state funding approved in 2026.
