LEESBURG, Va., Oct. 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Computing Inc. ("QCi" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: QUBT), an innovative, quantum optics and nanophotonic technology company announced a milestone in its quest to bring cutting-edge quantum solutions to the market. The Company has secured multiple hardware sales of its state-of-the-art Reservoir Computer and Quantum Random Number Generator to Assured Cyber Protection Ltd and AI firm millionways, kicking off the commercial delivery of its computing technologies.

The QCi Reservoir Computer, a first-to-market portable reservoir computing device with technology inspired by the power of quantum mechanics, can perform complex computational tasks with unprecedented speed and efficiency to facilitate data analysis, machine learning and artificial intelligence. Its minimal size, weight, power, and cost factors make it particularly suitable for use as an edge computing tool. QCi's Reservoir Computer uses the Company's proprietary capabilities to create a small footprint hardware device that requires 80% to 95% less power consumption than traditional computers. The QCi Reservoir Computer series leverages the Company's unique competencies and expertise in both analog and digital design, resulting in an innovative piece of technology that interfaces seamlessly with a host machine through an Ethernet connection, enabling smooth communications and problem-free submission. The Reservoir Computer, available now, is QCi's first major step on its path to building a hardware-based, Quantum Reservoir Computer to be released in 2024.

Additionally, the Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG) developed by QCi has garnered interest from organizations that require true randomness for applications in cryptography, secure communications, and data encryption. With quantum-level entropy, QCi's solution ensures the highest level of security for digital communications and data protection. QCi's QRNG offers a unique feature that can provide random number sequences and obey arbitrary statistic properties as customized by end users. This new feature not only enhances various AI applications and security protocols but also supports financial modeling applications such as Monte Carlo simulations.

European-based Assured Cyber Protection Ltd ("Recyber"), a cybersecurity company that combines automation, artificial intelligence and advanced technology to reduce a business' cybersecurity risk, has been on the forefront of defending digital assets against ever-evolving threats.  By integrating QCi's Reservoir Computer and QRNG into their security algorithms, Recyber aims to enhance its ability to detect and respond to cyberattacks in real-time, staying ahead of cybercriminals in this ever-shifting landscape.

millionways, a New York City based technology firm, is a leader in the development of AI algorithms used to effectively provide quick turnaround analysis and next-gen feedback to users on their emotional IQ and personality insights based upon various forms of user-generated text or audio-to-text data.  Unlike other machine learning platforms such as ChatGPT, Alexa or Siri, millionways' proprietary methodology makes behavorial predictions that have clear applications in generating the most informed decision in which social interactions drive behavorial outcomes.  The addition of QCi's Reservoir Computer to millionways' assessment process is expected to significantly boost machine learning efficiency, particularly in assessing audio files, dramatically reduce the power consumption and materially speed up the training.  Ultimately, quantum-enhanced AI technologies will enable millionways to provide even more accurate, personalized recommendations to its users, thus improving the overall user experience and increasing customer satisfaction.

Robert Liscouski, CEO and co-founder of Quantum Computing Inc. stated, "Recyber, a leading cybersecurity firm, and millionways, a pioneer in AI-driven decision-making platforms, are well positioned to benefit meaningfully from QCi technologies.  These innovative tools will enable them to efficiently address complex problems and challenges in their respective industries, pushing the boundaries of AI and cybersecurity capabilities.  The diverse application of our Reservoir Computer to the cybersecurity and human behavioral AI domains is exactly where we believe there will be a great opportunity for these types of technologies.  Similarly, our QRNG device, a truly unique random number generating device in the market, will address immediate security requirements for key distribution."  Liscouski added, "We believe that quantum computing will drive the next era of technological advancement, particularly in the cybersecurity world, and we are excited to be at the forefront of this revolution.  Though QCi is small, as of now, we pack a big punch.  We are working hard to become the leader in quantum innovation and quantum solutions that provide real value to the business and government markets today."

Mitch Scherr, CEO and co-founder of Recyber, commented on his purchase of four QCi Reservoir Computers and a QRNG, "Cybersecurity requires constant innovation.  QCi's quantum-enhanced technologies will strengthen our efforts to safeguard sensitive data and protect our company and its clients from evolving threats.  Recyber and QCi offer game-changing cybersecurity assessment, remediation and unparalleled protection.  QCi's Reservoir Computer combined with Recyber's AI technologies will enable Recyber to provide solutions that will protect clients and their Boards from the growing cyber threat in the marketplace today.  Our unique cyber behavioral analysis will be able to scale to small and large enterprises to better protect businesses from exploitation due to poor cyber hygiene and insider threats.  We entered our teaming relationship with QCi just over a month ago and, based on early customer feedback, we anticipate a highly productive future together."

QCi's efforts to build quantum reservoir computers is expected to bring quantum capabilities to artificial intelligence and significantly increase the speed and efficiency of AI while significantly lowering power consumption compared to power-hungry classical computers.  QCi is committed to ongoing research and development to further enhance its quantum solutions and expand its product offerings.  The Company's long-term vision is to democratize quantum information and sensing technologies, making them accessible and practical for businesses and researchers around the world.
