Quantum Computing (QUBT) has secured a $406,478 subcontract to support NASA's Langley Research Center in developing quantum computing solutions for space LIDAR data analysis. The contract, awarded through Analytical Mechanics Associates, runs until May 31, 2026.
Using their Dirac-3 quantum computer, QCi will work on removing sunlight noise from space LIDAR data, addressing a major challenge in NASA's daytime atmospheric sensing and Earth observation missions. The current solutions require large, power-hungry hardware that increases mission costs. QCi's quantum-based approach aims to improve signal-to-noise ratio without adding physical payload.
The project will focus on enhancing data processing for NASA's CALIPSO and ICESat-2 satellites. If successful, this quantum solution could enable NASA to achieve desired performance with smaller telescopes and lower-power lasers, potentially reducing costs for future LIDAR missions.
Quantum Computing Inc. (QUBT) has announced the sale and delivery of an EmuCore reservoir computer to a major automotive manufacturer for research and development purposes. The EmuCore device, built on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), offers machine learning capabilities for time series prediction and image recognition in a fast, affordable, and energy-efficient manner.
The implementation serves as a validation platform for customers evaluating applications for QCi's upcoming PCIe-based photonic reservoir computing units, which are expected to deliver enhanced performance per watt for AI and sensor-rich environments. The technology shows promise for AI model training, offering advantages in power consumption and processing time for edge computing applications.
