Quantum Computing Inc. (QCi) announced on January 7, 2025, the receipt of its third and fourth purchase orders for its thin film lithium niobate (TFLN) photonic chip foundry. These orders, from a European technical university and a Canadian photonic integrated circuit (PIC) design house, mark the conclusion of the QCi Foundry Pilot Launch Program.
The university order will leverage QCi's expertise in periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) structures for advanced telecommunications applications, which are strategically important for QCi's roadmap. The commercial order from the Canadian PIC design company represents the first from a non-research-based customer and includes the taping out of a custom TFLN PIC chip, with expected delivery in Q2 2025.
QCi also confirmed the partial delivery of its first foundry customer's order in December 2024, which was shipped to a customer in Asia and included TFLN PIC chips with passive elements. Dr. Pouya Dianat, Director of PICs and Foundry Services, stated that the pilot program generated customer engagement from both research and commercial sectors, establishing a pipeline for future opportunities as full foundry services launch in Q1 2025.
