HOBOKEN,
N.J., April 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum
Computing, Inc (QCi) (Nasdaq: QUBT), an innovative quantum optics
and nanophononics technology company, today revealed the successful
sale of its quantum LiDAR prototype to Johns
Hopkins University. Valued at $200,000, the prototype marks a significant
advancement in underwater LiDAR technology and will be utilized for
testing and evaluation within Johns
Hopkins' esteemed research and development program.
QCi's quantum LiDAR system boasts unparalleled precision, with a
remarkable resolution of 3mm and the capability to operate at
depths of up to 30 meters beneath the water's surface. The system's
unique ability to "tune" and time-gate single photons in the LiDAR
return signals, along with its capacity to adjust detection in both
frequency and phase space, enables quantum measurements that
elevate information gathering to new heights. These advancements
facilitate pivotal environmental and oceanographic studies,
providing insights into underwater targets beyond the reach of
conventional LiDAR systems.
Jeevanandha Ramanathan, Research Scientist and leader of Quantum
Remote Sensing platform at QCi, commented, "Our state-of-the-art
underwater scanning LiDAR system is engineered with cutting-edge
single-photon detection technology, coupled with a green laser at a
wavelength of 532nm. The selection of green light is strategic for
its superior ability to penetrate water, ensuring our system
captures the most detailed and accurate underwater images possible.
The integration of single-photon detection enhances sensitivity to
an exceptional degree, enabling us to discern and measure faint
signals bounced back by single photons."
"We are thrilled to receive this order and are honored to
fulfill it with the delivery of our new LiDAR-based remote sensing
system to Johns Hopkins researchers,"
stated Dr. William McGann, Chief
Executive Officer of QCi. "This collaboration will play a pivotal
role in enhancing our understanding of phytoplankton movement,
nutrient distribution, and the physical behavior of water bodies
under varying conditions. Together, these advanced capabilities
will equip researchers and policymakers with the detailed data
needed for comprehensive environmental management and protection
strategies, aligning with QCi's mission of delivering practical and
affordable quantum technologies for the world."
