LEESBURG, Va., Feb. 29,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Computing,
Inc (QCi) (Nasdaq: QUBT), an innovative quantum optics and
nanophononics technology company, today announced its fully
commercialized quantum optimization platform, Dirac-3 (Dirac)
Entropy Quantum Computer (EQC). Dirac is a nanophotonic machine
designed to address complex problems with larger numbers of
variables that require unconventional solutions through the use of
nonlinear quantum optics.
The system operates by quickly encoding a problem into Dirac's
photonic architecture that is then mixed with the quantum vacuum
and through a series of optical feedback loops, modulates the
interaction between variables, ultimately settling into a ground
state or "optimal solution," which is then read out.
Dirac is the first and only system of its type to natively solve
integer problems using quantum digits (qdits), each qdit having a
dimension of 200 discrete modes. This unique capability expands the
use of quantum technology far beyond the broader class of
optimization problems and the current quantum computing devices on
the market that use quantum bits (qubits). The Dirac system is
designed for on premises installation, is rack mountable (6U),
operates at ambient temperature, requires no special infrastructure
for daily use.
The market for accessible quantum optimization machines
continues to expand, as QCi's most recent contract with NASA, which
will utilize Dirac to optimize spectral analysis of LiDAR from
lower earth orbit. In 2023, the federal government awarded 19
contracts purchasing quantum computing technologies and is planning
to award twice as many in 2024. Affordable, accessible and
unique, the Dirac is a perfect fit for this market, being sold at
$300,000 per device, including
installation and warranty, with additional tiered service and
technical support options.
"This product aligns with our strategy to create accessible,
affordable, and sustainable entropy quantum computers that will
empower optimization solutions across the healthcare, financial
services, supply chain, energy management, autonomous vehicle, and
molecular modeling industries. We look forward to introducing this
disruptive technology to the industry and putting this innovative
and proven optimization machine into the hands of businesses
worldwide," stated Dr. William
McGann, Chief Executive Officer of QCi.
