College Park startup IonQreached a $2B dealin March that would make it the first quantum computing company to go public, and it is expectedto complete itsIPO later this month. Last week, IonQ and UMDannounced a partnership to develop a new quantum computing lab that they said would be the first of its kind inthe country.

Theuniversity is spending$20M to build the lab, and it has previously invested $300M into quantum science to helpadvancethe emerging sector. Leaders from the university and the county, speaking Wednesday at Bisnow's Future of Prince George's Countyevent in College Park, said the cityhas the ability to become a national hubfor quantum computing, potentially creating a new commercial real estate cluster around the campus.

University of Maryland President Darryll Pines, who was dean of theuniversity's engineering school before becoming presidentlast year, said he seesthe IonQ IPO and lab partnership as a major opportunity for College Park.

"This is the beginning of a new industry; this is why you should care," Pines told the audience of around 175 commercial real estate professionals. "It's at the nascent stage right now, but the fact that it's sitting here in our backyard allows us to leverage it and allows us to build a quantum industry in this region."

Pines said College Park is particularly primed to benefit from this industry's growth because of itsDiscovery District, a150-acre mixed-use district in between the campus and the Metro station that the university is partnering with private developers to build. The Discovery District welcomed a new 297-room hotel in 2017anda WeWork coworking space in 2019, and it has several office, multifamily and retail projects in various stages ofdevelopment.

The latest project to move forward in the Discovery District is a 5-acre, $300M development from Brandywine Realty Trust. The university and its partner, Terrapin Development Co., selectedBrandywine in March to build 550K SF of office, 250 multifamily units and retail.

Brandywine Realty Trust CEO Gerard Sweeney announced at Thursday'sevent that the project will be branded as Discovery Point, and he said heaims to start construction within 18 months. He said he thinks the project could support the city's emerging quantum computing sector.

"It will be a combination of office, academic research, translational labs and quantum computing support, so really space that we'll be building to support the growth and ecosystem within the university," Sweeney said.

Sweeney, whose Philadelphia-based company has completedsimilar projects around the University of Pennsylvaniacampus, compared the opportunity College Park has with quantum computing to thebooming cell and gene therapy industry in Philadelphia. That industrywas inits early stages a decade ago when Brandywine got involved, and Sweeney said because of U Penn's research leadership, Philadelphianow has 88 cell and gene therapy companies employing 56,000 people.

"When we looked at Discovery Point, we saw the same opportunity here," he said. "The vision is what it can be, not what it is. Our job is to translate what it is and how it looks and make sure it's an attractive platform to be really a physical accelerator to the mission of the university and Prince George's County of job creation."

Terrapin Development Co. President Ken Ulman, who previously served as Howard County Executive and unsuccessfully ran forlieutenantgovernor of Maryland before coming back to work oneconomic development around his alma mater, has an ambitious vision for College Park's tech industry.

"When we think about places in this country that are truly thriving, especially with the tech economy, whether it's Silicon Valley or Austin or Boston or the Research Triangle, what do they have in common? They have universities in those communities that understand their role in commercializing technology and producing a workforce," Ulman said.

"The University of Maryland hasn't always played that role," Ulman added. "We're now doing it. The first role is for UMD to reach its full mission and reach its potential to be able to be that full engine."

Ulman, in an email to Bisnow after the event, said he also worked with UMD tolaunchQuantum Start-up Foundry, an accelerator that offers space, resources and equipment to quantum computing companies that emerge out of the university or relocate to College Park.

"Our focus is truly the ecosystem, from training students in quantum to providing the space and resources necessary to access world-class equipment," he said. "It is rare to be at the start of a truly new technology revolution, and when the opportunity emerged, you must seize it and that's what President Pines and the team are doing."

Corporate Office Properties Trust, in partnership with UMD, has builtover 400K SF of office space in the Discovery District and hasat least 1M SF morein the pipeline. COPT Senior Vice President Dean Lopez said the area has receivedstrong leasing demand in the defense, cybersecurity and technology industries.

"The Discovery District has really evolved and continues to evolve into its own micromarket, and the proximity to the university as a big part of that," Lopez said. "What we've found is companies and organizations that land themselves in theDiscovery District, they don't want to leave, and if anything the challenge is keeping them there as they grow."

One of the companies that has grown in the Discovery District is Cybrary, which movedfrom Greenbelt to an 11K SF College Park space in 2019, and then last year expandedto a 26K SF space at COPT's new 4600 River Road building. Cybrary co-founder Ralph Sita said other jurisdictions including Virginia had tried to lure the company away, but it decided to stay in College Park because of the university.

"I've seen the growth, and I've seen what's happening at the University of Maryland, and I knew for Cybrary to attract great talent it was germane to our mission that we were associated with one of the best institutions in the country," Sita said.

RISE Investment Partners' Brad Frome and Prince George's County Executive Angela Alsobrooks.

Prince George's County Executive Angela Alsobrooks saidthe county has worked with the university and IonQ on the quantum computing lab partnership, and she sees it as a growth engine that could be replicated in other parts of the county.

"The Discovery District is emblematic of what we see all across the county," Alsobrooks said. "There are so many amazing things about the opportunities that are here ... IonQ is just one example, but there are so many other things that are right now literally growing as a result of the relationship, so it only gets better from here."

'This Is The Beginning Of A New Industry': College Park Looks To Quantum Computing To Spark Office Growth - Bisnow

People are calling it a breakthrough, a new phase of matterGoogle's invention of Time Crystals has the science and tech scenes in a daze. No, we're not talking about one of six physics-defying stones evading the grasp of Thanos. This is actual science that apparently defies our current understanding of physics.

Here is a discovery that could move us closer to the most accurate and powerful atomic clocks, gyroscopes, and magnetometers to date, but that's just the icing on the cake. Who knows what other practical applications a discovery of this magnitude could have.

Within Google's Sycamore quantum processor, strange things are afoot. As theorised nine years ago by Theoretical Physicist, Frank Wilczek, a new state of matter has been achieved. By blasting strips of superconducting aluminum with microwaves, the system's qubitswhich encode the ones and zeros in quantum computingwere put into a kind of perpetual motion.

A report from Cornell University, named Observation of Time-Crystalline Eigenstate Order on a Quantum Processor, notes "We demonstrate the characteristic spatiotemporal response of a DTC for generic initial states. Our work employs a time-reversal protocol that discriminates external decoherence from intrinsic thermalization, and leverages quantum typicality to circumvent the exponential cost of densely sampling the eigenspectrum."

More simply put: "It just sort of flip-flops," explains Bournemouth Physicist Curt von Keyserlingk. "It doesn't end up looking random, it just gets jammed stuck. It's like it remembers what it looked like initially, and it repeats that pattern over time."

What this essentially means, is that it may be time to rethink the second law of thermodynamics. The second law basically states entropy (or disorder) will always increase. This is why perpetual motion machines still haven't been invented, at least, potentially until now.

In speaking to Live Science, Loughborough Physicist Achilleas Lazarides (who was part of the initial theory's discovery) describes time crystals as an ever-swinging pendulum. The second law dictates, "Even if you totally physically isolate a pendulum from the universe, so there's no friction and no air resistance, it will eventually stop." This 'thermalisation' just doesn't happen in the case of time crystals.

"Energy starts out concentrated in the pendulum's center of mass, but there's all of these internal degrees of freedomlike the ways the atoms can vibrate inside the rodthat it will eventually be transferred into."

Eventually, the discovery of Time Crystals could translate into supreme quantum computing technology. Right now, at least, while researchers are in very early stages of experimentation, it seems to point to some profound insights surrounding the workings of the universe. It's not concrete at this point, though, and quantum physics is not an easy thing to explain, let alone researchjust keep that in mind.

Now I just have a massive urge to play Bioshock Infinite.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) today announced a $5 million, two-year award to a University of Maryland-led multi-institutional team to develop quantum interconnectscrucial technology to connect quantum computers and pave the way for a quantum internet.

The team, QuaNeCQT (Quantum Networks to Connect Quantum Technology), has been developing the quantum versions of a modem and a routerfamiliar equipment in the world of standard, or classical computing, but a challenge to build for use with devices that operate based on the principles of quantum.

The devices allow ion trap quantum computersa leading approach to quantum information processing developed in part at the University of Marylandto exchange quantum information over distances measured in kilometers, eventually leading to the development of networks that could revolutionize numerous industries and help solve vexing societal problems.

Quantum networks are at an inflection point with the potential for significant expansion, said Edo Waks, a professor of electrical and computer engineering and associate director of UMDs Quantum Technology Center (QTC). But the scale-up cant happen without standardized modular hardware between the new computers that are emerging and the vast infrastructure of the current internet.

The hardware we are developing will address the critical gap, opening up the door to the future quantum internet that can connect quantum computers over continental distances, said Waks.

Other UMD team members include physics Assistant Professor and QTC Fellow Norbert Linke, and Mid-Atlantic Crossroads (MAX) Executive Director Tripti Sinha, assistant vice president and chief technology officer for UMDs Division of Information Technology. The team also includes Dirk Englund of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Saikat Guha of the University of Arizona.

The researchers plan to deploy this new technology in the Mid-Atlantic Region Quantum Internet (MARQI), UMD's regional quantum network footprint. The MARQI network will interconnect quantum computers at UMD, the Army Research Laboratory, MAX and IonQa leading quantum computing company focused on ion-trap computers that operates in UMDs Discovery Districtwith a potential for significant expansion.

During the first phase of research, the team developed working prototypes of the quantum router and modem. Using a process called quantum frequency conversion, the modem converts signals from a quantum computer to infrared photons that can propagate through optical fibers over long distances. The router is powered by a silicon photonic chip that manipulates quantum signals in the network using quantum teleportationan effect demonstrated in 2009 by researchers at UMDs Joint Quantum Institute that allows quantum states to be transferred between particles that are physically separate. The team has deployed these prototypes in the MARQI network and established direct links with the various nodes of the network.

A quantum network could revolutionize numerous industries that take advantage of quantum computing including computing, banking, medicine and data analytics It would also enable connection of many multiple small quantum computers into powerful distributed quantum computers that could potentially solve problems with significant societal impact, from curing diseases to new approaches to fighting climate change.

As quantum technology converges with the Internet, a new technology sector would emerge, the researchers say, bringing with it the potential for major economic growth by producing rapid technological innovation and creating a large number of new jobs for the future quantum workforce, just as the emergence of the Internet did toward the late 20th century.

$5M NSF Grant to Fund Research on Quantum Internet Foundations - Maryland Today

IBM recently held two briefings on their Power10 platform and their Partner Ecosystem, which is one of the richest in the market.

For Power10, they had Pfizer talk about how Power has been critical to their operations and success. In addition, in their Partner event, IBM spoke about an effort with Mercedes Benz to use quantum computing to understand battery technology better and create something revolutionary when it comes to stored electrical energy.

Lets talk about both of these efforts by IBM.

IBM has two major cloud initiatives outside of their own IBM Cloud offering. They are the hybrid cloud and the multicloud, and they dovetail with each other nicely. But the dominant server architecture in the cloud is Intels X86, and displacing a technology as dominant as X86 isnt a viable strategy. However, designing a part that does a few things better than X86 is doable, because Intels platform has to be a jack-of-all-trades, making it very difficult for it to be a master of any of them.

Scott Growth, Pfizers ERP architect, indicated that IBMs Power platform and the breakthroughs they have collectively had on it changed many patients lives for the better. He testified that this platform allowed him to deploy 19K virtual threads over the 1,300 cores they have deployed. This ability to massively share CPU resources has been critical to their enterprise SAP deployment through a single instance. They dont think any other platform can provide the same massive workload on a similar relatively small resource.

One of the significant areas of focus is the idea of a frictionless hybrid cloud where data and applications can move seamlessly between the two environments and likely across multiple cloud providers depending on the need. Their new generation, the IBM Power E-1080 Servers, promises 30% more performance and 52% less energy usage over their prior generation. A new memory architecture also promises a 2.5x improvement in memory RAS. With embedded AI capabilities coupled with advanced recovery and automatic self-healing, the Power 10 platform looks as impressive as Pfizer indicated and well-differentiated in the market.

IBM was one of the first companies to research quantum computing, which is expected to be a significant game changer for the kinds of analytical loads. For several years, I was the lead battery analyst for the U.S., and during that time, I visited IBMs labs where they were working on a lithium-ion replacement called lithium-air. That research continues promising lower costs, faster charging, higher power densities, higher energy efficiency, and lower flammability.

But beyond this, IBM shared that they were working with Mercedes Benz, one of the automotive companies attempting to pivot from the internal combustion engine (ICE) to electric vehicles (EVs), aggressively on a new battery architecture. IBMs battery work goes back decades, and the related research primarily used conventional computers. While they are a leader in quantum computing, providing early practical applications of this new computing power has proven daunting.

Using quantum computing to understand better how existing batteries work and then using the related information to create a new battery class is inspired. If successful, this battery advancement effort should not only create a far more capable battery but a leading and prominent example of the benefits of using quantum computing in applied product research. Success would tend to move the perceptions of quantum computing from near fantasy to practical reality, opening up demand for quantum computing tied to practical business applications.

In short, this effort might not just improve batteries. It could validate a general-purpose use for quantum computing far earlier than anticipated, creating a stronger foundation for the eventual birth of a quantum computing market.

IBM recently had two powerful announcements: their Power 10 platform and E-1080 server providing a critical solution for those looking to leverage central computing resources and create frictionless hybrid environments massively; and their work with Mercedes to create a next-generation battery to power tomorrows cars through the IBM Partner Ecosystem.

IBM continues to do significant research and create unique product innovations that could eventually change the world.
