LEESBURG, VA – Quantum (NASDAQ:) Computing Inc. (NASDAQ:QUBT), a leader in quantum optics and nanophononics technologies, announced a new contract awarded from NASA through Analytical Mechanics Associates. Known for its unique entropy quantum computing (EQC) capabilities, the company enhances LiDAR spectral mapping by removing solar noise, which is critical to NASA's low-Earth orbit missions.
EQC technology provides a more efficient alternative to traditional noise reduction methods in LiDAR applications. This method typically requires large lasers and limited bandwidth filtering. These traditional approaches often increase size, weight, power, and cost. In contrast, QCi's EQC technology promises to deliver better results with less resource consumption.
The collaboration has already generated revenue for QCi and work on the project has begun. His CEO of QCi, Dr. William McGann, highlighted the far-reaching impact of this partnership, highlighting that EQC's applications extend beyond his LiDAR to a variety of spectral sensing measurements. He also hinted at the upcoming launch of QCi's advanced entropy quantum machine, Dirac-3, which is expected to outperform existing technologies in terms of speed, resolution, and overall capabilities. .
The contract is consistent with the federal government's investment strategy, which has poured more than $75 million into enhanced LiDAR sensing technology for low-Earth orbit since 2018, according to a report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO). ing. This award is part of research at NASA Langley Research Center. , a Science and Engineering Services (RSES) contract, with Analytical Mechanics Associates serving as prime contractor to support technology advancements from research to flight-ready hardware development.
Quantum Computing Inc. is known for developing quantum machines designed to be accessible, affordable, and operate at room temperature with low power requirements. The company's portfolio spans high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and remote sensing applications. This partnership with NASA further strengthens his QCi's position in the field of photonics innovation and leverages his QCi's technology in preparation for important space missions.
