HOBOKEN, N.J.,June 18, 2026 -- Quantum Computing Inc.("QCi" or the "Company") , an innovative, quantum optics and integrated photonics technology company, today announced that it has received a purchase order and entered into a framework agreement with Planck Dynamics (the "Customer"), a portfolio company of The Netherlands based defense technology investment firm NUNC Capital BV, to deploy QCi's NeuraWave photonic reservoir computer as a foundational platform for next-generation AI applications.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Customer has issued an initial purchase order for five NeuraWave systems, with delivery expected during 2026. The agreement also establishes a commercial framework designed to support scaled deployment of NeuraWave systems as end-user milestones are achieved and representing a potential aggregate program value in excess of $10 million. Future purchase orders beyond the initial order are contingent upon the Customer's achievement of specified program milestones and other customary conditions and, accordingly, are not guaranteed.

"We believe photonic reservoir computing represents an important new computing architecture for AI workloads that must operate at the edge, where data are generated," said Yong Meng Sua, Chief Technology Officer at QCi. "With NeuraWave, we're giving organizations a highly differentiated path to deploy real-time intelligence for temporal AI and time-series applications, without dependence on centralized compute infrastructure."

"The significance of this agreement extends well beyond the sale of the hardware. Planck Dynamics selected NeuraWave as a foundational technology platform and made an initial commercial commitment that provides a pathway for scaled deployment over time. We believe this validates both the performance of our technology and its ability to address emerging AI infrastructure requirements at commercial scale," said Pouya Dianat, Chief Revenue Officer at QCi.

The Customer's program is focused on advancing next-generation reservoir computing architectures utilizing an electro-optic approach to artificial intelligence processing. The initiative is intended to support a broad range of applications spanning commercial and government markets, with an emphasis on enabling AI-at-the-edge capabilities in environments where low latency, power efficiency, and real-time decision-making are critical.

"Planck Dynamics was created to bring real-time insights to tactical operators at the frontlines. We work at the tip of the spear, ensuring that the right decision can be made with zero latency. To accomplish this in an environment with sensor overload, next-generation AI algorithms are needed, along with a full leap in technology capability. That is why Planck has partnered with QCi, developing our high-demand AI applications with advanced electro-optic computing built to work in low thermal footprint, low power, edge-native environments. We are excited to establish a foundation for a long-term collaboration with QCi as we build solutions that uniquely support the extraordinary demands of NATO and allied forces worldwide," said Nathan Eskue, Managing Director, Planck Dynamics.

"Planck Dynamic's collaboration with QCi represents a tangible step forward in bringing advanced nonlinear photonics capabilities into the European defense domain. That QCi has selected Planck Dynamics as an early commercialization and development partner for NeuraWave underscores the strategic nature of this collaboration. As the lead investor and main shareholder, NUNC Capital has supported Planck Dynamics from an early stage, providing not only capital but also access to defense networks, validation pathways, and initial market traction. This partnership reflects the kind of company NUNC aims to build and scale, one that translates cutting-edge innovation into deployable capabilities for the men and women on the ground," said Bram Oostvogel, Founding Partner, NUNC Capital BV.

The agreement supports the Customer's efforts to develop and deploy electro-optic computing technologies designed to address emerging requirements for advanced data-intensive applications across multiple operating environments, with both companies working together to accelerate the adoption of photonic reservoir computing for advanced temporal AI and machine learning applications.

The agreement represents a significant commercial milestone for QCi's NeuraWave system and further validates the growing market interest in photonic computing technologies for artificial intelligence applications. NeuraWave leverages photonic reservoir computing to address temporal AI and time-series machine learning workloads, enabling the efficient processing of complex, data-intensive applications where speed, power efficiency, and AI at the edge analysis are critical. The architecture is particularly well-suited for distributed AI deployments at the network edge, where moving large volumes of data to centralized computing resources may be impractical or undesirable.

The collaboration aligns with QCi's vision of expanding access to advanced computing technologies by bringing photonic AI capabilities into real-world commercial applications. The companies will commence technical kickoff activities and execute a formal Statement of Work to establish development milestones, integration objectives, and deployment schedules. The collaboration is expected to accelerate the adoption of photonic computing technologies in emerging AI markets.
