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.
