Phasecraft to establish U.S. headquarters in Arlington, Virginia

Phasecraft, a UK-based developer of quantum algorithms, is establishing its U.S. headquarters in Arlington, Virginia. The expansion, centered in the Ballston area, is expected to create 19 new high-tech jobs.

The company specializes in designing algorithms for existing quantum computers, targeting applications in materials science, chemical modeling, and optimization. Phasecraft’s move to Virginia is intended to facilitate closer collaboration with U.S. government agencies and private sector partners.

Phasecraft has previously participated in the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Quantum Benchmarking Initiative to assess the feasibility of utility-scale quantum computing. The company cited Virginia’s skilled workforce, proximity to universities, and access to federal agencies as primary reasons for selecting the location.
