HOBOKEN,
N.J., Nov. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum
Computing Inc. ("QCi" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: QUBT), an
innovative, integrated photonics and quantum optics technology
company, today announced the Company has received its second
purchase order for its thin film lithium niobate (TFLN) photonic
chip foundry from the University of Texas at
Austin. The order will support the research efforts of the
University's RF Acoustic Microsystem Group and is part of the QCi
Foundry's pilot launch program, with fulfillment expected in Q1
2025.
The order will enable the University to advance chip-scale
acoustic and cross-domain microsystems, utilizing the scalable
industrial processes provided by the QCi Foundry. As part of this
order, QCi will leverage its standard TFLN processing recipes to
facilitate a custom fabrication run tailored to the needs of the
University's research group. This collaboration lays the groundwork
for further expanding the use of TFLN into applications that extend
into micro electromechanical systems, further establishing TFLN's
potential as a versatile material system and a key enabler for the
next-generation photonics market and beyond.
"This strategic collaboration with the University of Texas at Austin underscores the
expanding capabilities and commercial viability of the QCi Foundry,
which has been designed to meet the increasing demand for signal
processing, sensing, and computing applications as well as advanced
acoustic systems for volume deployment," stated Dr. William McGann, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at
QCi. "We are excited to support the University's innovative
research, and this collaboration further highlights the growing
recognition of TFLN as a critical driver in the future of telecom,
datacom, and quantum markets."
This announcement follows QCi's recent news of securing its
first order for its TFLN photonic chip foundry from a prominent
research and technology institute based in Asia. The QCi Foundry will be devoted to
processing TFLN and other transition metal ferroelectrics in
Tempe, Arizona. The facility
remains on track to begin production in Q1 2025, positioning QCi as
a leader in the high-performance, TFLN-based optical chip
market.
