Quantum software company Phasecraft has selected Arlington County, Virginia (Ballston) as the location for its official United States headquarters. Supported by the Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP) and state funding through the Virginia Jobs Investment Program (VJIP), the expansion establishes a direct operational base in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area to scale Phasecraft’s U.S. workforce and expand algorithm development across federal defense, energy, and commercial sectors.
The U.S. expansion builds on Phasecraft’s growing engagements across federal research agencies. Earlier in 2026, the company joined the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s (DARPA) Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI) program to provide verification, validation, and benchmarking of fault-tolerant algorithm utility. Additionally, Phasecraft was selected by the Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy (ARPA-E) under the Quantum Computing for Computational Chemistry program to engineer optimized quantum algorithms for simulating advanced catalytic materials for energy applications.
| [ Phasecraft U.S. Expansion & Federal Program Footprint ] | ||
|---|---|---|
| Operational Location | Federal & Agency Partnerships | Algorithmic Focus & Impact |
| • U.S. HQ: Ballston (Arlington, VA) • Incentives: VJIP Workforce Funding • Partners: VEDP & Arlington County | • DARPA: Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI) • ARPA-E: Computational Chemistry Program • Sectors: Defense, Energy, Materials Science | • Utility-Scale FTQC Algorithm Benchmarking • Quantum Chemistry & Catalyst Simulation • Hardware-Efficient QPU Software Compilation |
The Arlington hub positions Phasecraft alongside key federal stakeholders, industrial collaborators, and defense-tech ecosystems. The expansion allows the company to accelerate deployment of its proprietary quantum software algorithms—optimized to minimize gate depth and qubit overheads for near-term and early fault-tolerant quantum processors—while deepening cross-stack integrations across U.S. government agencies and enterprise partners.
