Today, IonQ’s Board of Directors appointed Niccolo De Masi as the new President and CEO of IonQ. Peter Chapman will continue in the leadership role of IonQ’s Executive Chair. Niccolo has served on IonQ’s board of directors since 2021, helping guide IonQ’s strategic direction and realize the vision of creating the world’s first pure-play public quantum computing company. Niccolo has held c-suite positions at publicly traded companies such as Monstermob Group, Resideo Technologies, Glu Mobile, and most recently, dMY Squared Technology Group, and he currently serves on the board of Rush Street Interactive and Planet PBC. With a background in physics and a track record of raising more than $3B in equity to support public and private companies, Niccolo is poised to help IonQ accelerate growth in the quantum era.? https://lnkd.in/gqhQPftj
Dr. Linke is a great addition to the QLab! He will help to make the QLab an even greater resource for the region and our members who are working on accelerating practical quantum computing applications.
The?National Quantum Laboratory at Maryland?(Qlab) welcomes a renowned expert in quantum physics, computing and networking to serve as its new director, effective September 1, 2025. Norbert Linke, Ph.D., brings a decade of experience running a quantum computer user facility and conducting research on the applications of trapped atomic ions. With this appointment, Linke will return to the University of Maryland – College of Computer, Mathematical, and Natural Sciences, where he worked as a faculty member from 2019 to 2022, and he will hold the first IonQ Professorship, an endowed position designed to support faculty focused on quantum computing research and advancing quantum strategy in Maryland and beyond. The IonQ Professorship was established with a $1 million gift from quantum computing firm IonQ and fully matched by the Maryland Department of Commerce. https://lnkd.in/egrvFihX

Darryll Pines: "The?University of Maryland?is well positioned to be a leader in Quantum science — which is projected to have a cumulative impact of $2 trillion in the next decade, according to a 2024 McKinsey analysis for the Quantum Technology Monitor — but we have to act now. Ranked among the top 20 public universities nationwide, UMD has a foundation of 35 years of quantum research, more than 200 researchers at 10 quantum-focused centers such as the?Joint Quantum Institute, and is at the geographic intersection of a host of scientific and research agencies." Take a look at President Pines' commentary of Maryland, and our University, as the future "Capital of Quantum": https://lnkd.in/e99mC_n4
5 days left on the deadline, so please share with students who might be interested in this great program
Excited to share an incredible opportunity for rising high school seniors passionate about quantum technology and its future! In partnership with area K-12 school systems, Connected DMV’s Potomac Quantum Innovation Center (PQIC) and George Mason University's Quantum Science and Engineering Center (QSEC) are inviting rising high school seniors from across the DMV to participate in the 2025 Pathways to Quantum Summer Immersion Program. This unique program offers a comprehensive introduction to quantum science, highlighting the vast career opportunities in the industry. Participants will enjoy a blend of virtual learning and a week-long in-person experience at GMU, including visits to leading organizations within the quantum ecosystem. Previous sites include NASA, IonQ, The MITRE Corporation, The White House (OSTP), George Mason University, University of Maryland, Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, and George Washington University. The program is entirely free, covering room and board at GMU, and includes a $500 stipend upon completion of the program. Students will emerge with foundational quantum knowledge, two online credentials, and firsthand insights into how quantum technology is poised to change the world. ?? Application Deadline: February 23, 2025. Don’t miss this chance to dive into the quantum realm and possibly set the stage for your future career.

At Microsoft Quantum we are racing to build the first utility-scale quantum computer based on topological qubits (https://lnkd.in/eV8FYvxF). We are also working very closely with our partners to bring their quantum computer technology to life sooner in the Microsoft Quantum platform. I’m hiring people who want to accelerate the timeline to a useful quantum computer, no matter the technology. And I’m excited to post the first positions below. Please consider applying. We will eventually be hiring across the stack (qubits - both theory and experiment, quantum plane architecture, control and readout, hardware integration and component development, and software), so even if you don’t see yourself explicitly in the descriptions below, keep in touch. This is your opportunity to be part of a team that’s cutting the line to the first useful quantum computer. We have an amazing team of people at Microsoft Quantum. Join us. Principal Quantum Technical Program Manager: https://lnkd.in/e3HAqDs2 Principal Quantum Hardware Engineer: https://lnkd.in/eHZGUN86 Senior Quantum Hardware Engineer: https://lnkd.in/eGAsWBUd And thanks for sharing this post! #QuantumComputing #MicrosoftQuantum #BeanTeam Zulfi Alam Jason Zander Matthias Troyer Krysta Svore Chetan Nayak Patrick Codd Justin Hogaboam Roman Lutchyn Lauri Sainiemi Gijs de Lange Ben Chapman John Watson Emily Toomey and many more...
