Insights

QUBT's quantum photonic vibrometer represents a significant advancement in sensing technology. The device's ability to achieve 110 nanometer amplitude sensitivity while operating at eye-safe wavelengths creates a compelling value proposition for non-destructive testing applications. This technology differentiation - particularly the photon-counting capabilities and noise suppression features - addresses limitations in traditional laser Doppler vibrometers that researchers have struggled with for years.

The selection by TU Delft's Department of Aerospace Structures and Materials is particularly noteworthy given their specialized requirements for material testing in challenging environments. Their intention to benchmark the QPV against classical vibrometers will generate valuable comparative performance data that could accelerate adoption across research institutions if advantages are conclusively demonstrated.

What's strategically important here is QUBT's focus on quantum sensing applications where near-term commercial value can be realized, rather than pursuing only long-horizon quantum computing applications. By targeting high-precision measurement needs in aerospace materials testing, the company is establishing a foothold in specialized markets where quantum advantages deliver immediate utility.

The collaborative aspect of this relationship - including planned publications and testing protocols - suggests this is more than a simple product sale. These activities may generate valuable intellectual property and technical refinements while providing third-party validation from a globally respected institution. With this being just the second disclosed customer for their LiDAR-based technology, QUBT is still early in its commercial trajectory but gaining important momentum in the academic research segment.

This purchase order represents incremental but positive progress in QUBT's commercialization journey, following their previous sale to Johns Hopkins University. The company is successfully targeting prestigious research institutions that can validate their technology, though we should note both disclosed customers remain academic rather than industrial entities.

Without financial details on the order value, it's difficult to assess direct revenue impact. However, for a company with a $1.09 billion market cap, the strategic significance likely outweighs immediate financial contributions. The purchase validates QUBT's market positioning in specialized quantum sensing applications where their technology offers demonstrable advantages over classical approaches.

The planned benchmarking against traditional vibrometers by TU Delft should generate valuable comparative data that could support future sales efforts. If performance advantages are conclusively demonstrated by such a respected institution, this creates powerful third-party validation for approaching both additional academic and potential industrial customers.

Most promising is the deeper collaborative relationship beyond just equipment purchase. Associate Professor Eskue's visit to QUBT headquarters for training and planned collaboration on publications suggests a partnership with knowledge-sharing potential. The company appears to be building an ecosystem around its technology rather than simply selling devices.

For investors, this announcement indicates QUBT is successfully advancing its go-to-market strategy in quantum sensing, focusing on applications where quantum advantages can deliver immediate value rather than waiting for longer-term quantum computing breakthroughs. This specialized approach offers a path to near-term revenue while the broader quantum computing market matures.

HOBOKEN, N.J., April 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Computing Inc. ("QCi" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: QUBT), an innovative, integrated photonics and quantum optics technology company, today announced it has received its second purchase order in the Company's LiDAR-based R&D offering. This latest order comes from the Department of Aerospace Structures and Materials at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. TU Delft is a world renowned public technical university, consistently ranking in the top 20 of technical universities globally. TU Delft specializes in engineering, technology, computing, design, and the natural sciences, winning multiple awards such as JEC Composites Innovation Award 2025 and Airbus-BMW Quantum Computing Challenge.

This purchase order is for a Quantum Photonic Vibrometer (QPV) that can be used in sensing applications in challenging operational environments over a range of distances. Assistant Professor Vahid Yaghoubi played a crucial role in the technical evaluation of the Quantum Photonic Vibrometer (QPV) to ensure its capabilities align with the advanced research needs of TU Delft in Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and Structural Health Monitoring (SHM).

"At TU Delft, we are always looking for cutting-edge technologies that push the boundaries of non-destructive testing. QCi's Quantum Photonic Vibrometer stood out due to its advanced photon-counting capabilities, high sensitivity, and ability to perform contactless measurements. Through our evaluation, we found its unique advantages over traditional LDVs to be highly compelling for our research applications. This purchase marks a significant step in developing next-generation NDT/SHM techniques by integrating quantum sensing technologies into our work," stated Assistant Professor Dr. Vahid Yaghoubi of TU Delft.

With this purchase, TU Delft, with the leadership of Professor Vahid Yaghoubi, will be benchmarking QPV against results from other classical vibrometers to verify and validate its performance and characteristics. Using leading edge photonic sensing techniques to achieve high speed, single-photon sensitivity, and noise rejection, QCi's QPV operates at an eye-safe wavelength and can accurately characterize vibrational spectra with an amplitude as low as 110 nanometers.

"With this order, we have an exciting opportunity to provide our American-made technology and services to such an esteemed, international technology university, underscoring market demand for more sensitive and effective vibrometer solutions that cannot be attained through traditional technology. Our quantum photonic technology exponentially suppresses background noise, creating accurate outcomes while supporting a variety of research applications," stated Dr. William McGann, Chief Executive Officer of QCi.

In March, Associate Professor Nathan Eskue, who specializes in robotics, manufacturing, project management, and rapid iteration prototyping for the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering at Delft University of Technology, joined QCi at its global headquarters in Hoboken, New Jersey, to test, train and deploy the device as part of a series of planned collaborations and publications. Associate Professor Eskue will collaborate with QCi experts for his upcoming publication Advancing Industry 5.0 that he is currently authoring.

This order comes less than a year after internationally renowned John Hopkins University purchased QCi's Scanning LiDAR, which uses cutting edge single-photon detection technology coupled with high precision time-tagging at a wavelength of 532nm, to test and evaluate underwater LiDAR technology. Dr. Jeeva Ramanathan, PhD, Quantum Tech Lead at QCi, who authored two patents for this advanced technology and has led its development at the Company added, "this latest order of our quantum photonic vibrometer illustrates the demand for our safe, precise, and non-destructive testing technology which can be used in an array of applications from determining the quality and integrity of materials to monitoring performance of materials during operational use."
