Key Terms

quantum photonics technical

"QCi will make the case that quantum photonics is a practical path forward"

Quantum photonics is the science and engineering of creating and controlling individual particles of light to carry and process information using the rules of quantum physics. For investors, it matters because these light-based quantum devices promise new kinds of ultra-fast computing, extremely secure communications and ultra-sensitive sensors—think of upgrading from a bicycle to a high-speed transit network—and could create entirely new markets, but they carry long development timelines and technical risk.

photonic integrated circuit technical

"offering photonic integrated circuit capabilities for a 150 mm wafer line"

A photonic integrated circuit is a tiny chip that routes and processes light signals instead of electrical currents, like an electronic microchip but built to use photons. It matters to investors because these chips can make data transmission and sensing much faster, more energy-efficient and cheaper at scale, potentially enabling new high-growth products and cutting operating costs across communications, computing and sensing industries.

thin film lithium niobate technical

"a first-of-its-kind thin film lithium niobate foundry in Tempe, Arizona"

Thin film lithium niobate is a very thin, high-quality crystalline layer of the material lithium niobate placed on a supporting chip to guide and control light on a tiny scale. Think of it as a narrow, super‑responsive lane for light that electronics can steer quickly; it matters to investors because it enables smaller, faster and more energy‑efficient optical components used in high-speed communications, data centers and sensing, which can improve product performance and margins.

QCi Brings Quantum Out of the Lab and Goes Live at CES 2026

Quantum Computing Inc. debuts at CES Foundry with live demos that show quantum delivering clearer insights, smarter decisions, and safer real-world communication

HOBOKEN, N.J., Dec. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Computing Inc. ("QCi" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: QUBT), an innovative, integrated photonics and quantum optics technology company, today announced it will debut at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, Nevada, running Jan. 6 to 9, 2026, with a featured presence inside CES Foundry at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas. CES Foundry is a new CES experience this year, built to spotlight the frontier where AI meets quantum through live demonstrations and direct access to the companies shaping what comes next. CES Foundry will be open during the first two days of CES, Jan. 7 and 8.

QCi's debut lands at a pivotal moment. As AI becomes operational, the limiting factor is no longer access to data. It is the ability to make the best decision fast, under constraints, at a power and cost profile that can scale. The next era is not more AI. It is the infrastructure that makes intelligent systems scalable, efficient, and trustworthy. QCi will make the case that quantum photonics is a practical path forward, and the media will be able to see it working in real time.

"People hear 'quantum' and think it belongs in a lab. At QCi, we build quantum photonics systems that work in the real world," said Dr. Yuping Huang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Quantum Computing Inc. "CES is where the world comes to see what is next. At CES Foundry, we will show live demos that make the value of quantum photonics immediate and easy to understand."

At CES Foundry, QCi will demonstrate light-powered quantum photonics through hands-on demos focused on problems people instantly relate to, improving outcomes when complexity explodes and choices multiply. Demonstrations will include optimizing routes, improving financial outcomes, and accelerating AI training, all designed to show how quantum photonics can deliver better decisions with no quantum expertise required.

QCi pairs this real-world focus with U.S. based manufacturability. The company operates a first-of-its-kind thin film lithium niobate foundry in Tempe, Arizona, offering photonic integrated circuit capabilities for a 150 mm wafer line, and advancing technologies designed for practical deployment.

Live Demos at CES Foundry, Booth FT 16
QCi demonstrations will include:

• Financial modeling, exploring many possible outcomes for more balanced decisions
• AI training, highlighting faster, more efficient learning
• Drone route optimization, identifying safer, faster paths as constraints multiply
