Quantum Computing Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results
HOBOKEN, N.J., Aug. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Computing Inc. ("QCi" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: QUBT), a vertically integrated quantum company pioneering photonics and semiconductor manufacturing, today released financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2026.
Dr. Yuping Huang, Chief Executive Officer of QCi, commented, "During the second quarter, we continued to execute on our strategy of making our quantum products smaller, more practical and more accessible. Our room-temperature photonic architecture continues to differentiate QCi by providing a pathway to practical quantum systems with significantly lower complexity, cost and power requirements than competing approaches. At the same time, we are expanding the capabilities of fast prototyping and volume production that not only support our future quantum roadmap but also address growing commercial markets today.
"With the acquisition of NHanced Semiconductors, Inc. ("NHanced") – our third acquisition this year – we launched Fab 2 ahead of schedule, significantly expanding our advanced packaging and semiconductor manufacturing capabilities and accelerating our transition toward scalable, cost-effective production of miniaturized nanophotonic quantum technologies. During the quarter, we also brought NeuraWave, our next-generation photonic reservoir computing platform, to commercial readiness, and subsequently entered into a framework agreement with Planck Dynamics. This agreement supports the deployment of our NeuraWave systems for next-generation AI applications, providing strong market validation of our photonic computing technology.
"In addition, we successfully delivered and installed our Dirac-3 quantum optimization machine at a leading global consulting firm for use with its enterprise customers on complex optimization applications, including portfolio optimization. This deployment represents another important commercial milestone for QCi and demonstrates growing market demand for practical quantum optimization solutions.
"We also received a purchase order from a world-leading university for our quantum secure communications system. This order represents continued commercial traction for our quantum communications portfolio and further recognition of our technology by a premier research institution.
"Supported by a strong balance sheet, we remain well positioned to continue integrating our recent acquisitions, expand our commercial and government customer base and invest in the technologies and manufacturing capabilities that support both our commercial businesses and our long-term quantum roadmap. As we look to the second half of 2026, we stay focused on executing our roadmap and delivering on our mission of putting quantum into the hands of everybody."
