HOBOKEN,
N.J., April 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum
Computing Inc. ("QCi" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: QUBT), an
innovative, integrated photonics and quantum optics technology
company, today announced it has received its second purchase order
in the Company's LiDAR-based R&D offering. This latest order
comes from the Department of Aerospace Structures and Materials at
Delft University of Technology in the
Netherlands. TU Delft is a world renowned public technical
university, consistently ranking in the top 20 of technical
universities globally. TU Delft specializes in engineering,
technology, computing, design, and the natural sciences, winning
multiple awards such as JEC Composites Innovation Award 2025 and
Airbus-BMW Quantum Computing Challenge.
This purchase order is for a Quantum Photonic
Vibrometer (QPV) that can be used in sensing applications in
challenging operational environments over a range of distances.
Assistant Professor Vahid Yaghoubi
played a crucial role in the technical evaluation of the Quantum
Photonic Vibrometer (QPV) to ensure its capabilities align with the
advanced research needs of TU Delft in Non-Destructive Testing
(NDT) and Structural Health Monitoring (SHM).
"At TU Delft, we are always looking for
cutting-edge technologies that push the boundaries of
non-destructive testing. QCi's Quantum Photonic Vibrometer stood
out due to its advanced photon-counting capabilities, high
sensitivity, and ability to perform contactless measurements.
Through our evaluation, we found its unique advantages over
traditional LDVs to be highly compelling for our research
applications. This purchase marks a significant step in developing
next-generation NDT/SHM techniques by integrating quantum sensing
technologies into our work," stated Assistant Professor Dr.
Vahid Yaghoubi of TU Delft.
With this purchase, TU Delft, with the leadership
of Professor Vahid Yaghoubi, will be
benchmarking QPV against results from other classical vibrometers
to verify and validate its performance and characteristics. Using
leading edge photonic sensing techniques to achieve high speed,
single-photon sensitivity, and noise rejection, QCi's QPV operates
at an eye-safe wavelength and can accurately characterize
vibrational spectra with an amplitude as low as 110 nanometers.
"With this order, we have an exciting opportunity
to provide our American-made technology and services to such an
esteemed, international technology university, underscoring market
demand for more sensitive and effective vibrometer solutions that
cannot be attained through traditional technology. Our quantum
photonic technology exponentially
suppresses background noise, creating accurate outcomes
while supporting a variety of research applications," stated Dr.
William McGann, Chief Executive
Officer of QCi.
In March, Associate Professor Nathan Eskue, who specializes in robotics,
manufacturing, project management, and rapid iteration prototyping
for the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering at Delft University of
Technology, joined QCi at its global headquarters in Hoboken, New Jersey, to test, train and deploy
the device as part of a series of planned collaborations and
publications. Associate Professor Eskue will collaborate with QCi
experts for his upcoming publication Advancing Industry 5.0
that he is currently authoring.
This order comes less than a year after
internationally renowned John Hopkins University purchased QCi's
Scanning LiDAR, which uses cutting edge single-photon detection
technology coupled with high precision time-tagging at a
wavelength of 532nm, to test and evaluate underwater LiDAR
technology. Dr. Jeeva Ramanathan,
PhD, Quantum Tech Lead at QCi, who authored two patents for this
advanced technology and has led its development at the Company
added, "this latest order of our quantum photonic vibrometer
illustrates the demand for our safe, precise, and non-destructive
testing technology which can be used in an array of applications
from determining the quality and integrity of materials to
monitoring performance of materials during operational use."
