# Quantum Motion Expands to Maryland’s Emerging Tech Hub
Quantum Motion, a U.K.-based developer of silicon-based quantum computers, is establishing its first U.S. facility in Discovery District Maryland, joining a concentrated ecosystem of quantum leaders. The company will operate alongside Microsoft, IonQ, IQM, and federal research institutions including NIST and NASA Goddard.
The new facility offers purpose-built infrastructure supporting advanced quantum hardware development. Maryland’s strategic positioning combines proximity to world-class research institutions, government agencies, and industry talent—creating what state officials call an ideal launchpad for quantum innovation.
Quantum Motion will contribute to the Capital of Quantum Benchmarking Hub, supporting DARPA’s Quantum Benchmarking Initiative, which evaluates commercial quantum platforms and develops pathways toward scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computing. The company’s arrival further diversifies the region’s quantum hardware approaches, now spanning multiple technologies from ion traps to superconducting qubits.
