Key Takeaways
Quantum Computing won an order from Delft University for its Quantum Photonic Vibrometer.
QUBT shipped its first commercial entangled photon source to a research group in South Korea.
QUBT received a fifth order for its TFLN photonic chip foundry from a group in Canada.
Quantum Computing Inc. (QUBT - Free Report) or QCi continues to gain traction among key academic and research partners worldwide. Recently, the company secured an order for its Quantum Photonic Vibrometer (“QPV”) from the Department of Aerospace Structures and Materials at Delft University of Technology, a globally recognized engineering and research institution. The QPV will support advanced research in non-destructive testing and structural health monitoring. This development highlights the growing commercial engagement with leading academic centers and the validation of QCi’s quantum photonic sensing technologies.
Additionally, QCi successfully shipped its first commercial entangled photon source to a leading research institution in South Korea, marking a milestone in the commercialization of its proprietary quantum communication technologies. Designed for compatibility with existing fiber optics infrastructure, the device enables secure quantum communication research and supports QCi’s broader cybersecurity roadmap. This shipment demonstrates early global demand for QCi’s quantum networking solutions and validates progress in transitioning lab-developed innovations to market-ready products.
Earlier in 2025, it had received a fifth purchase order for its thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) photonic chip foundry from a research group based in Canada, supporting its research efforts in quantum photonics.
