The Quantum Coast: Meet America’s Top New Tech Hub - Commercial Observer

Along the coast between Silicon Valley and Southern California, another major industry hub is forming for a new kind of technological innovation. Quantum computing utilizes quantum mechanics to vastly expand on traditional binary computing, solving devilishly complex problems exponentially quicker. And, while the technology is in its early stages, the science behind it is in development in Santa Barbara and neighboring Goleta, which are drawing some of the nation’s top tech companies and employers to an area that was known far more for tourism and a large university.SEE ALSO: Marco Caffuzzi of Latham & Watkins: 5 Questions And the rapid pace of development and rosy forecasts for eventual economic effects have already spilled into commercial real estate. Centered around the groundbreaking research at the University of California-Santa Barbara, landlords and investors are positioning themselves around the specialized quantum sector in the region. In March, Colliers helped broker a recapitalization and sale of a 733,000-square-foot tech park portfolio in Goleta to Irvine-based investment firm Praelium. The $235 million trade was one of the largest investment sales ever for Santa Barbara County. In August, Google spent $32.5 million acquiring a pair of buildings on Castilian Drive in Goleta, further expanding its sizable footprint in the area. Along with a flood of Big Tech tenancy creating a cluster of companies near cutting-edge research, these kinds of deals underscore how quantum has become a new type of tech investment play. JLL research rates the Southern California quantum ecosystem, including Santa Barbara, as a more mature one versus that of the Bay Area, and tracks roughly a dozen corporate-owned quantum facilities in the region. Google’s global center for quantum research is also in Goleta, less than 15 minutes from UC-Santa Barbara. Last year, Santa Barbara startups raised $293 million across 35 deals, a 15 percent jump from 2024. “This is a pretty niche

The expansion integrates QuEra into Maryland’s statewide Capital of Quantum (COQ) initiative—a regional technology cluster anchored by the University of Maryland (UMD) designed to coordinate over $500 million in public, federal, and private quantum investments. Located in DDM’s Discovery Center alongside existing facilities for Microsoft, Quantum Motion, IQM, and Riverlane, the new office provides proximity to federal research entities, including NIST, NASA Goddard, and the U.S. Army Research Laboratory. Concurrently, QuEra expanded its partnership with UMD’s National Quantum Laboratory (QLab), granting university researchers, educators, and regional startups cloud access to its 256-qubit Aquila neutral-atom processing platform to accelerate algorithm development, hardware benchmarking, and quantum workforce training.

Interview with Matthias Troyer, Vice President & Technical Fellow at Microsoftquantum-computing

Interview with Matthias Troyer, Vice President & Technical Fellow at Microsoft

Overview In this interview, Global Quantum Intelligence’s George Schwartz and Microsoft’s Matthias Troyer discuss the primary pathways, economic realities, and technical bottlenecks associated with scaling quantum computing to achieve practical utility. They analyze the viability of various qubit architectures—highlighting why Microsoft favors topological and neutral atom technologies over alternatives like transmons—and evaluate target applications, concluding that quantum chemistry offers true commercial value while big data, machine learning, and optimization face significant speed and data I/O limitations. Additionally, Troyer addresses the necessity of accelerating transitions to post-quantum cryptography, details how AI integration can help resolve critical classical embedding problems in molecular simulations, and advocates for evaluating quantum developments using holistic metrics—specifically end-to-end cost in “dollars per solution” and a four-dimensional framework for measuring logical qubit capabilities. Transcript George Schwartz:At GQI, we’re tracking the quantum ecosystem, and we’re seeing all these incredible different modalities, projections, a lot of things that happen at this conference of QEC, all these different types of improvements in decoding, for example with Nvidia, what you were showing today in your talk about all the parallels between CPU and a QPU. We want to stay in pace with the industry as possible and really want to get insights and also your thoughts here about fault tolerance, utility scale, and you had really great points about when you’re working at scaling, how do you make it cost effective. To have the discussion going in that direction, I can let you comment a little bit in general and then I can have maybe some specific questions. Matthias Troyer:So that’s for background for you, for understanding, or do you want to publish something based on that? Just for context for me. George Schwartz:We’re probably going to write up the

Shaping the quantum future in Virginia - George Mason University

Body With support from a $3.7 million GO Virginia grant, George Mason University will establish the Virginia Quantum Hub (VQH) — an inclusive quantum ecosystem, built by public–private partnerships, that generates intellectual property across research and technology, attracts capital investments, trains a highly skilled workforce, and addresses global innovation needs, from health and logistics to national security and energy sectors.  “The Virginia Quantum Hub at George Mason positions the Commonwealth of Virginia at the forefront of this cutting-edge technology that will drive investment and economic opportunity in the decades to come,” said Governor Abigail Spanberger. “As home to the first open-architecture quantum computing system in the National Capital Region, this is exactly the kind of public–private partnership that keeps Virginia first. The collaboration among higher education, GO Virginia, the Virginia Innovation Partnership Corporation (VIPC), and many other critical public and private partners also represents game-changing capacity building for our innovation ecosystem.” To scale partnerships already underway, George Mason has been approved for the GO Virginia grant, pending final award, to expand K–12 education and employer training programs, technical infrastructure deployment, lab buildout, and collaborative partnership operations.  In addition to current research investments, laboratories, and K–12 and higher education programs and training, George Mason partnered with Oxford, England-based TreQ to bring the first open-architecture quantum computing system to the state. TreQ has completed the system design and will deploy and operate the built-to-evolve quantum computing infrastructure, collaborating with George Mason to connect Virginia and the region with companies and innovators across the global quantum technology ecosystem. “George Mason is not waiting for the quantum future — we are building it, responsibly and a
