LEESBURG, Va., Feb. 8, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Computing Inc. (NASDAQ: QUBT), ("QCI" or
the "Company"), a first-to-market full-stack photonic-based quantum
computing and solutions company, today announces a subcontract
award from SSAI to support NASA in testing one of its proprietary
quantum photonic systems for remote sensing applications.
QCI, through its wholly owned subsidiary, QI Solutions, which
focuses on federal projects, will perform this work under a
subcontract from Science Systems Applications, Inc. (SSAI), a
leading scientific, engineering and IT solutions provider. Under
the subcontract, QCI will test an existing LiDAR system designed to
remotely measure the physical properties of different types of
snowpacks, including the density, particle size and depth, based on
a recent breakthrough theory. The measurements from these tests
will be used to calculate how much water could be released when
snow melts and could be used for other similar predictive analyses.
This new technology and system implementation is designed for use
in spaceborne and airborne missions and, once validated, have the
potential to provide accurate data for informing key decision
makers. The QCI LiDAR system could be used to indicate changes in
weather patterns which have a significant impact on water reserves
available both for agricultural facilities and in cities, which for
example are critically impacting many areas in
California.
"As a full-stack quantum computing company, QCI is positioned to
contribute to NASA's efforts to protect the earth's
environment. Our team is incredibly proud to have the
opportunity to demonstrate the vital real-world applications of
QCI's quantum technology to the recognized global leader in space
research and exploration," said Robert
Liscouski, CEO of Quantum Computing, Inc.
Under the SSAI subcontract, the project will proceed with
laboratory testbeds over the coming months and, upon its successful
completion of this testing, this compact equipment may proceed with
airborne testing with the ultimate goal to position these LiDAR
units on satellites to create a network for monitoring snow levels
globally.
Sean Gabeler, President of QiSolutions, commented, "This is a
major step for QCI in demonstrating the application of its
technology. QiSolutions was established specifically for this
type of effort, and we are ready to execute to ensure success for
this project."
QCI has recently developed a variety of quantum information
technology and systems, including those of entropy quantum
computing, reservoir quantum computing, quantum imaging and
sensing. Its quantum photonic LiDAR systems deliver new measurement
capabilities with single-photon sensitivity, strong noise
rejection, and high-ranging and spatial resolution. QCI systems are
built for easy and versatile uses with favorable size, weight,
cost, and power specs.
