Gov. Moore is pledging to make Maryland the “quantum capital of the world,” proposing a significant investment into the industry of super-fast computing amid a budget crisis in the state.

The Moore-Miller Administration has also committed continued funding for the construction of Zupnik Hall, a new $244 million facility that will feature quantum labs on the University of Maryland campus. The project has secured more than $58 million in private investments and $185.4 million from the state.
