NanoQT, a quantum hardware startup, has opened a new office in College Park, Maryland, to enhance its R&D capabilities and accelerate commercialization efforts in the U.S. The expansion is supported by a partnership with the Quantum Startup Foundry (QSF) and funding from the Maryland Department of Commerce’s Global Gateway Program. Additionally, NanoQT has initiated a collaboration with Professor Mario Dagenais at the University of Maryland, focusing on the development of CMOS-compatible Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) for integration into its cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) systems.
The collaboration, funded through the Maryland Industrial Partnerships (MIPS) program, aims to advance innovations in cavity engineering and explore fault-tolerant quantum computing architectures for modular quantum systems. NanoQT’s presence in Maryland leverages the state’s strong quantum talent pool, proximity to Washington, D.C., and established ecosystem for quantum startups. The company plans to expand its collaborative efforts to drive advancements in quantum hardware and scalable quantum computing solutions.
NanoQT’s U.S. operations, headquartered in Delaware, include offices in California and Maryland, alongside its international subsidiary, NanoQT Japan. The expansion underscores NanoQT’s commitment to fostering quantum innovation and strengthening its position as a key player in the global quantum hardware market.
