Quantum Computing Inc. completed the acquisition of Luminar Semiconductor, Inc. for an all-cash $110 million, making LSI a wholly owned subsidiary. The deal adds lasers, detectors, packaging, manufacturing and patents to QCi's thin-film lithium niobate platform, aiming to create a vertically integrated, domestic photonics-to-quantum product pipeline and near-term aerospace/defense revenue visibility.
Quantum Computing Inc. (Nasdaq: QUBT) was selected as the stalking horse bidder for selected remaining assets of Luminar Technologies at an agreed purchase price of approximately $22 million, subject to higher or better offers through a court-supervised auction.
The proposed transaction, to be completed in connection with Luminar's Chapter 11 process, is subject to U.S. Bankruptcy Court approval and is expected to close in Q1 2026 if approved. Combined with the previously announced acquisition of Luminar Semiconductor, the assets would extend QCi's photonics footprint into deployed LiDAR systems, contribute immediate revenue, and retain key technical and manufacturing teams to support commercial operations and R&D.
Quantum Computing Inc. (Nasdaq: QUBT) confirmed the appointment of Dr. Yuping Huang as Chief Executive Officer, effective January 1, 2026, after serving as Interim CEO since April 11, 2025. Dr. Huang brings over 20 years in quantum physics and led research programs totaling approximately $40M in funding from U.S. agencies and partners.
The company said the leadership change aligns with its ten-year technology roadmap as QCi shifts from prototype and small-batch manufacturing toward industrial-scale production, with plans to refine engineering, expand Fab 1 operations, and lay foundations for Fab 2. QCi emphasizes room-temperature, low-power integrated photonics devices for research, government, and commercial markets.
Quantum Computing Inc (Nasdaq: QUBT) signed a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire Luminar Semiconductor, Inc. (LSI) from Luminar Technologies (Nasdaq: LAZR) for $110 million in cash, subject to customary adjustments.
