HOBOKEN, N.J., April 30, 2025 -- Quantum Computing Inc. ("QCi" or the "Company"), an innovative, integrated photonics and quantum optics technology company, today announced that the Company has been awarded a subcontract with a ceiling value of $406,478 to support the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's ("NASA") Langley Research Center through the development of an innovative quantum computing technique for removal of solar noise from space LIDAR data. QCi received the subcontract award through Analytical Mechanics Associates ("AMA"), a prime contractor on the RSES IDIQ vehicle. The subcontract is time and materials, and the period of performance ends May 31, 2026.

Using QCi's latest Dirac-3 quantum computer, the Company will develop and test quantum computing techniques to identify and remove sunlight noise in space LIDAR data. This will help NASA obtain adequate signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) even in daytime measurements. So far, the sunlight noise is a major obstacle facing NASA in obtaining reliable atmospheric sensing and Earth observation data during daytime. Existing approaches to increasing the SNR require the use of optics hardware with excessive size and power parameters, whic
