After debuting in Washington, D.C. and three groundbreaking years in Tysons, Quantum World Congress takes its next step forward — convening the global quantum ecosystem in College Park at The Hotel at the University of Maryland and the University of Maryland’s campus on September 23–25, 2026.
Quantum World Congress has always been about more than convening the field. It is about accelerating it. Thirty international delegations. Six continents. One room. When the global quantum ecosystem decides where to show up, it shows up here. Bringing these leaders to College Park is exactly what this moment calls for.
Quantum World Congress is where the future of quantum gets decided — the premier global convening of leaders across science, industry, government, finance, and education. Since 2022, this is where breakthroughs get unveiled, commercialization accelerates, and quantum moves from the lab into the real world. Anchored in Greater Washington, QWC connects research with reality — and the stakes have never been higher.
Deep Tech Facility: The physical home of the Capital of Quantum
The building pictured is a purpose-built deep tech facility in Discovery District Maryland — housing quantum labs, the CoQ headquarters, and an expanding roster of quantum tenants.
A three-story building with spaces purpose-built for quantum labs, offices, loading dock capabilities, and abundant parking — within the 150+ acre Discovery District Maryland campus. Fiber backbone connectivity via Mid-Atlantic Crossroads, the high-bandwidth research network connecting UMD and the region’s quantum infrastructure.
Less than one mile from UMD campus. Adjacent to the College Park Metro, MARC train station, and the incoming Purple Line light rail. IonQ maintains its own nearby HQ; this facility serves the broader CoQ ecosystem.
