Insights
The receipt of two new TFLN photonic chip foundry orders represents a critical milestone in QCi's commercialization strategy. The European university order focusing on PPLN structures validates QCi's technical capabilities in quantum-ready photonic applications, while the Canadian PIC design house order marks their first commercial client - a pivotal shift from research-only customers.
The successful partial delivery of the first Asian customer order in December 2024 demonstrates operational execution capability. With full-scale production scheduled for Q1 2025 at their Tempe facility, QCi is positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for TFLN technology. The foundry's ability to handle both baseline commercial products and custom designs creates multiple revenue streams. For investors, this diversified approach reduces risk while maximizing market opportunity in the expanding photonics sector.
The strategic significance of these orders extends beyond immediate revenue. The university's focus on PPLN structures for optical frequency conversion and entangled photon generation addresses core requirements for quantum communications infrastructure. This positions QCi at the intersection of classical photonics and quantum applications - a important market advantage as quantum networks evolve.
The commercial PIC design house order, scheduled for Q2 2025 delivery, suggests growing industry confidence in QCi's TFLN platform. The priority access agreement for future multi-project wafer runs indicates potential for recurring revenue and long-term customer relationships. The completion of the Asian customer delivery validates QCi's manufacturing capabilities in producing complex photonic components like ring resonators and waveguides - essential building blocks for quantum-enabled systems.
The expansion of QCi's customer base across three continents (Europe, North America and Asia) demonstrates global market penetration in the specialized TFLN foundry space. The timing of full foundry services launch in Q1 2025 aligns with growing industry demand for photonic integrated circuits in quantum computing and telecommunications applications.
The planned showcase at SPIE Photonics West 2025 provides a strategic platform for business development. With a
The university will leverage QCi's expertise in periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) structures, essential for optical frequency conversion and entangled photon generation, with a specific focus on adopting TFLN for advanced telecommunications applications. These structures are strategically important for the QCi Foundry's roadmap and wafer-scale technology, and their high-yield production is critical to QCi's long-term plans in quantum applications.
The commercial order from the Canadian PIC design company represents the first order from a non-research-based customer and includes the taping out of a custom TFLN PIC chip. The expected delivery is set for Q2 2025 and provides priority access to a future multi-project wafer run anticipated to launch in the second half of 2025.
"The QCi Foundry Pilot Launch Program has generated customer engagement from both research and commercial sectors, establishing a pipeline of future opportunities for these foundry services," stated Dr. Pouya Dianat, Director of PICs and Foundry Services at QCi. "We are excited to leverage these engagements as QCi officially launches its full foundry services in Q1 2025, and we are confident that this will be a pivotal year for the Company's growth. We anticipate converting this pipeline into orders as we continue to expand our foundry services throughout 2025."
As 2025 begins, QCi is also proud to announce that the Company has completed the partial delivery of its first foundry customer's order in December 2024. The order, which was shipped to the customer based in
