HOBOKEN,
N.J., Nov. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum
Computing Inc. ("QCi" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: QUBT), an
innovative, integrated photonics and quantum optics technology
company, today announced that the Company has secured its first
order for its thin film lithium niobate (TFLN) photonic chip
foundry. The order, placed by a prominent research and technology
institute based in Asia,
underscores the growing global demand for QCi's advanced
fabrication technology of TFLN and its ability to produce
high-performance photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and
nanophotonic devices. This milestone highlights QCi's commitment to
accelerating the widespread adoption of TFLN and positioning it as
a vital component of the future telecom, datacom, and quantum
landscape.
The order will leverage QCi's proprietary capabilities in
etching, processing, and wafer-scale characterization of TFLN.
QCi's key technological advantage lies in its TFLN processing
expertise, which is crucial for producing state-of-the-art optical
devices and photonic engines that are in significant demand across
various high-growth markets, in particular, the coherent
communication, telecommunication, and data communication market
segments.
In addition to its advanced manufacturing capabilities, QCi will
offer in-house photonic chip design services as part of the order,
which will include two separate fabrication runs tailored to meet
the customer's needs. The first photonic chips for this order are
expected to be delivered in December
2024, with the full order set to be completed by the end of
Q1 2025.
"QCi is thrilled to announce this first order for the QCi
Foundry, which reflects the increasing global interest in our
advanced TFLN technology," stated Dr. Pouya
Dianat, Director of PICs and Foundry Services at QCi. "By
integrating TFLN into our own quantum technology, we are able to
enhance the precision and performance of our systems, and QCi is
proud to play a critical role in the future of integrated
photonics. We anticipate additional orders in the coming months as
the photonics community continues to embrace TFLN and prepares for
the exciting opening of the QCi Foundry in Tempe, Arizona."
This announcement follows the recent signing of two memorandums
of understanding (MOUs) with industry partners focused on the
development of process design kits (PDKs) and design services.
These strategic partnerships are paving the way for QCi as it nears
the final commissioning of its QCi Foundry, which is set to
officially open in Q1 2025.
