Quantum Computing Inc. (QCi) announced on April 30, 2025, that it has been awarded a subcontract with a ceiling value of $406,478 to support NASA's Langley Research Center. The contract, received through Analytical Mechanics Associates, focuses on developing an innovative quantum computing technique for removing solar noise from space LiDAR data.
Using QCi's Dirac-3 quantum computer, the company will develop and test techniques to identify and remove sunlight noise, which is a major obstacle for obtaining reliable atmospheric sensing and Earth observation data during daytime. QCi's approach aims to improve signal-to-noise ratio without increasing physical payload size, weight, or power requirements.
Dr. William McGann, CEO of QCi, stated that this award expands on previous NASA subcontracts and reinforces QCi's credibility as a trusted partner in quantum innovation. The project has the potential to transform climate and atmospheric science from space by enabling efficient and accurate data collection during daytime operations, potentially reducing mission costs.
