LEESBURG, Va., Feb. 14,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Computing
Inc. (QCi), (Nasdaq: QUBT), an innovative quantum optics
and nanophononics technology company, today announced that they
have been awarded a fourth project from NASA. QCi, the only
company worldwide that can utilize Entropy Quantum Computing
(EQC) to denoise LiDAR spectral information, has been tapped
by Analytical Mechanics Associates on behalf of NASA to provide a
new approach to remove sunlight noise from LiDAR spectral mapping
in lower earth orbit.
This technology improvement would be an effective and affordable
method for NASA to measure the unique physical properties of clouds
and aerosols to prepare for space missions at any time of day. The
adoption of EQC for denoising LiDAR spectral information provides a
superior alternative to traditional noise reduction methodologies
that require a larger laser and restrictive bandwidth filtering,
both of which require greater size, weight, power and cost to
achieve as compared to the EQC.
QCi's engagement in this project is already underway, securing
revenue immediately. QCi's Chief Executive Officer, Dr.
William McGann stated, "This
opportunity showcases the generalized use of entropy quantum
computing for signal-to-noise enhancement, not only for generalized
LiDAR applications, but for a wide range of important spectral
sensing measurements. We are extremely excited that this work
aligns perfectly with QCi's upcoming launch of the Dirac-3, a new,
powerful high-dimensional Entropy Quantum Machine, which we believe
will offer even greater performance improvements in speed,
resolution, and overall performance than other competing
technologies."
NASA's continued engagement with QCi fosters a partnership for
leveraging QCi's innovation in photonics. According to a
recent report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), the
federal government has invested over $75
million dollars in enhanced LiDAR sensing technologies in
lower earth orbit since 2018 and intends to steadily continue to do
so. The current award is executed via the Research, Science,
and Engineering Services (RSES) contract at NASA Langley Research
Center. Under the RSES contract the Prime Contractor, Analytical
Mechanics Associates (AMA) supports the full range of technology
readiness levels from fundamental research through flight rated
hardware design and development.
