The Solid State and Quantum Physics (SSQP) program pursues research in experimental and theoretical quantum information science and technology, in cryogenic devices, and materials science. We engage with academia, industry, national labs, and centers of excellence around the country and the world to advance the state of the art in quantum computing and cryogenic information technologies.

The Advanced Manufacturing and Sensing program conducts research in the national
strategic priorities of next generation engineering materials, novel sensing, and advanced
manufacturing (to include semiconductors); is building a pipeline of talent and solutions
to support these strategic goals; and is delivering advanced manufacturing and sensing
capabilities to the government and industrial base.

Within the office of Advanced Computing Systems (ACS), we collaborate with industry, academia, and the government on research to improve computing systems for a range of applications including cybersecurity and complex data analytics. ACS has active research projects in neuromorphic and probabilistic computing, advanced modeling and simulation, energy efficiency, architectures, productivity, and resilience. We are located at the bwtech@UMBC Research and Technology Park adjacent to the University of Maryland-Baltimore County (UMBC) campus.
