Jockeying intensifies for state quantum (photonics) leadership – The Montana Headwaters Tech Hub
The New Mexico center will focus on photonics technologies — the science of light — which helps advance ion quantum computing technologies that use light to control qubits, the basic unit of information quantum computing is built upon.
State leaders are thrilled, especially as it comes months after New Mexico was designated alongside Colorado as a quantum tech hub by the Economic Development Administration and awarded $41 million to advance the region’s quantum sector.
Other states are trying to assert themselves in the quantum industry too. Maryland Gov. Wes Moore recently announced a “Capital of Quantum”

The Montana Headwaters Tech Hub
The Montana Headwaters Tech Hub Consortium has received formal designation as a Regional Technology & Innovation Hub from the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration. The Montana Headwaters Tech Hub will develop smart photonic sensing systems that can be deployed in autonomous systems and applied to critical defense, resource management, and disaster prevention applications.
Through nine component projects, we will partner with key organizations around the state to develop the photonics industry in our state. We will provide support for all aspects of the industry, from research and development, workforce training, and venture studios to launch new firms. With our support, we believe that Montana can become a global leader in this industry, creating an economic driver for the region.
