LEESBURG,
Va., Sept. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum
Computing Inc. ("QCi" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: QUBT), an
innovative, quantum optics and nanophotonics technology company,
today announced the appointment of Dr. Javad Shabani to QCi's Technical Advisory Board,
becoming its fourth member. Dr. Javad joins US intelligence
community veteran and technology strategist The Honorable James
Simon, Jr., who heads the Advisory Board, cryptography expert Dr.
Brian LaMacchia, and disruptive
technology specialist Lewis
Shepherd. The Technical Advisory Boards' mission is to guide
the strategic evolution of QCi's technology, while ensuring
effective commercialization of product rollouts.
Dr. Javad Shabani
is a recognized expert in quantum materials and devices for
computation technologies. As an Associate Professor of Physics and
Director of the Center for Quantum Information Physics at
New York University, Dr. Shabani's
research interests are mainly on developing novel quantum hardware
using materials innovation. His recent research focuses on
topological superconductivity, developing voltage-controlled
superconducting qubits and building a telecom testbed for
quantum communication in New York
City. Dr. Shabani began his career at University of California, Santa Barbara initially
conducting postdoctoral research at California NanoSystems
Institute. This research post led to his position as Project
Scientist, where Dr. Shabani worked closely with Microsoft research
on hybrid semiconductors and superconductors heterostructures to
study topological superconductivity. Dr. Shabani is also an
active member of quantum education and workforce development in the
New York area.
Dr. Shabani received his B.S. in Physics and
Engineering from Sharif University of Technology, M.Sc. in
Electrical Engineering from UC Santa Cruz, M.A. and Ph.D. in
Electrical Engineering from Princeton University, and a
Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Physics at Harvard University in the study of
semiconductor-based qubits, as well as postdoctoral work at
University of California, Santa Barbara
(NanoSystems Institute). Dr. Shabani is a well published
author and is inventor or co-inventor on three issued U.S. patents
focused on qubit architecture and fabrication. Dr. Shabani was
the recipient of the IBM Q Scholar Award in 2021 and the Young
Investigator Program Award from both the US Air Force and US Army
in 2016.
Commenting on Dr. Shabani's appointment, the
Honorable James Simon, Jr. stated, "As we build the technical
advisory team, we intend to interject a level of diversity of
quantum expertise, while staying focused on tangible product
development for immediate practical commercial applications.
Dr. Shabani uniquely marries his academic, unharnessed
exploration of next generation novel possibilities, with his
practical engineering background and excitement to discover
consistently fail-safe, commercially viable solutions."
"I have observed that many technically advanced
companies have difficulty delivering on their theoretical promises.
As an engineer and applied physicist, I am attracted to
optimization and performance. Achieving consistent results in
real-world applications is essential to lay the foundation for the
next generation of ideas," stated Dr. Shabani. "QCi is a
manifestation of my core beliefs in the advancement of quantum
technology by delivering functional applications today. QCi
combines the many real-world, practical advantages of its patented
photonic methodology with its immediate plans for a quantum
photonic chip. The company's intention to open a turn-key, thin
film, lithium niobate foundry is invaluable and gaming
changing. While there are several companies developing quantum
capabilities, only a few compete at the hardware level. This
capability creates a substantial competitive advantage. I look
forward to contributing to this esteemed advisory board and the
company's further development."
Welcoming Dr. Shabani to the QCi advisory team,
Robert Liscouski, CEO of Quantum
Computing Inc., stated, "Having a well-informed, highly functioning
technical advisory board providing active updates on the latest
developments in both the business and academic communities within
the quantum industry is crucial to QCi's success. Dr. Shabani
has a reputation as a thought-leader in the forefront of product
development, and I look forward to his input on our future
strategic plans and focus."
