Completion of Quantum Photonic Chip Foundry
Quantum Computing Inc. completed the construction of its Quantum Photonic Chip Foundry in Tempe, Arizona, marking a significant milestone for the company. This facility will help address growing market demand in data communications and telecommunications.
New Collaborations and Contracts
QCi announced a collaboration with the Sanders Tri-Institutional Therapeutics Discovery Institute and a new subcontract with NASA's Langley Research Center. Additionally, they secured a quantum photonic vibrometer order from Delft University and an EmuCore reservoir computing device order from a major automotive manufacturer.
Strong Financial Position
QCi reported a net income of approximately $17 million compared to a net loss of $6.4 million in the prior year, primarily due to a non-cash gain on the mark-to-market valuation of the company's warrant-related derivative liability. Cash and cash equivalents increased by $87.5 million to $166.4 million.
Expansion of Board Expertise
QCi strengthened its board with the addition of Eric Schwartz, who brings over 20 years of experience in financing, M&A, and corporate strategy, aiding the company's commercialization and manufacturing scale-up efforts.
