Maryland Governor Wes Moore recently embarked on his first international trade mission to Japan, where he tested the world’s fastest train, the Maglev. The Maglev uses magnetic fields to lift and propel trains without direct contact with tracks, allowing for speeds of up to 370 miles per hour. This technology could potentially connect Baltimore to New York in just one hour or Washington D.C. to Baltimore in 15 minutes, boosting Maryland’s economy and creating over 160,000 jobs.
Governor Moore’s focus on industries and technologies of the future has led him to explore quantum computing as well. Maryland aims to become a global leader in quantum information science and technology, as quantum computing has the potential to transform various sectors, from national security to healthcare. Quantum computing utilizes quantum physics to solve problems that traditional computers cannot tackle.
With Maryland facing a $2.7 billion budget deficit for the next fiscal year, the push towards innovative and advanced technologies, such as the Maglev and quantum computing, could provide new opportunities for economic growth and job creation in the state. Governor Moore’s international trade mission and exploration of cutting-edge technologies demonstrate Maryland’s commitment to staying competitive in the global economy and positioning itself as a leader in innovation and technology.
