Here's How QUBT Expands Customer Adoption Across Quantum Platforms

Quantum Computing Inc. or “QCi” QUBT expanded customer adoption across its quantum optimization and photonic computing platforms. The company successfully sold, delivered and installed its Dirac-3 quantum optimization machine at a leading global consulting firm. The Dirac-3 system will support enterprise customers on complex optimization applications, including portfolio optimization.

NeuraWave, its next-generation photonic reservoir computing platform, also reached deployment readiness. This platform combines photonic and digital computing to deliver fast, energy-efficient AI inference and advanced signal processing for edge computing applications across defense, telecommunications, robotics, healthcare industrial monitoring and other markets. 

QCi entered into a framework agreement with Planck Dynamics to support the deployment of almost multiple dozens of NeuraWave photonic reservoir computing systems as customer milestones are achieved. The agreement represents an important commercial validation of NeuraWave’s readiness to address emerging AI infrastructure requirements with a potential aggregate program value in excess of $10 million, subject to the achievement of specified customer milestones and other conditions.

QCi also received an order from a leading university for its quantum-secure communications system, supporting further research and signaling continued customer traction.
