QCi's Chief Executive Officer, Dr. William McGann, expressed excitement about the project and highlighted the potential of their upcoming launch of the Dirac-3, a high-dimensional Entropy Quantum Machine.
In addition to their work with NASA, QCi recently commercialized their quantum optimization platform, Dirac-3, designed to address complex problems with larger numbers of variables. The Dirac system is the first of its kind to natively solve integer problems using quantum digits (qdits), expanding the use of quantum technology in optimization solutions. This innovative product has garnered interest from various industries, including healthcare, financial services, supply chain, and autonomous vehicles.
Quantum Computing Inc. (QUBT) has secured a private placement agreement with institutional investors for the sale of 8,163,266 common stock shares at $12.25 per share, expecting to generate $100 million in gross proceeds. The offering is scheduled to close around January 9, 2025.
This latest funding brings QCi's total capital raised since November to $190 million. The company plans to use the net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes, including advancing and expanding their development and manufacturing of photonics, thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN), and quantum technologies.
Titan Partners Group, a division of American Capital Partners, serves as the sole placement agent. The securities issued in this private placement are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, and QCi has agreed to file a resale registration statement with the SEC.
Quantum Computing Inc. (QUBT) has secured its third and fourth purchase orders for its thin film lithium niobate (TFLN) photonic chip foundry. The orders come from a European technical university focusing on telecommunications applications and a Canadian photonic integrated circuit design house - their first non-research customer.
The company completed partial delivery of its first foundry customer's order in December 2024 to an Asian client. QCi's US-based semiconductor foundry in Tempe, Arizona, is scheduled for full-scale production in Q1 2025, focusing on high-performance photonic chips and TFLN devices.
The Canadian PIC design company's order includes custom TFLN PIC chip development with expected delivery in Q2 2025, and priority access to a multi-project wafer run planned for H2 2025. QCi plans to showcase its foundry services at SPIE Photonics West 2025 in San Francisco.
Quantum Computing Inc. (QUBT) has secured a prime contract from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center to apply its Dirac-3 entropy quantum optimization machine for phase unwrapping in interferometric data processing. The project aims to enhance NASA's imaging reconstruction and data processing capabilities using QCi's quantum optimization technology.
The contract focuses on utilizing Dirac-3 to solve complex phase unwrapping problems in radar-generated interferometric data, with the goal of improving solution quality and computational speed compared to classical computing methods. If successful, the project could yield long-term benefits for NASA's big-data processing capabilities and potentially expand to other applications where quantum solutions offer advantages.
Quantum Computing Inc. (QUBT) has announced two concurrent stock offerings totaling $50 million. The company is selling 1,540,000 shares through a registered direct offering and 8,460,000 shares through a private placement, both priced at $5.00 per share. The offerings are expected to close around December 12, 2024.
The proceeds will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, including the development of quantum technologies and the buildout of their TFLN Photonic Chip Foundry in Tempe, Arizona, which is scheduled for completion in Q1 2025. Titan Partners Group is acting as the sole placement agent for these offerings.
Quantum Computing Inc. (QUBT) has received its second purchase order for its thin film lithium niobate (TFLN) photonic chip foundry from the University of Texas at Austin.
