- The initial commercial commitment establishes a deployment pathway for up to 100 NeuraWave systems, with a potential value of more than $10 million.
hoboken new jersey, June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Quantum Computing Inc. (“QCi” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: QUBT), 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 NUNC Capital BV, a Netherlands-based defense technology investment company, to deploy QCi’s systems. NeuraWave photonic reservoir computers serve as the foundational platform for next-generation AI applications.
Under the terms of the agreement, the customer has placed an initial purchase order for five NeuraWave systems, with delivery expected in 2026. The agreement also establishes a commercial framework designed to support large-scale deployment of the NeuraWave system as end-user milestones are achieved, with a potential total program value of more than $10 million. Future orders beyond the initial order are subject to Customer’s achievement of specified program milestones and other customary terms and conditions and are therefore not guaranteed.
“We believe photonic reservoir computing is an important new computing architecture for AI workloads that need to operate at the edge, where data is generated,” said Yong Meng Sua, chief technology officer at QCi. “NeuraWave provides organizations with a highly differentiated path to deploy time series AI and real-time intelligence for time series applications without relying on centralized computing infrastructure.”
“The significance of this agreement goes far beyond the sale of hardware. Planck Dynamics has selected NeuraWave as its foundational technology platform and made the first commercial commitment that provides a path to large-scale deployment over the long term. We believe this validates both the performance of our technology and our ability to address emerging AI infrastructure requirements at commercial scale,” said Pouya Dianat, Chief Revenue Officer at QCi.
The customer’s program focuses on advancing next-generation reservoir computing architectures that utilize electro-optical approaches to artificial intelligence processing. The effort is aimed at supporting a wide range of applications across commercial and government markets, with a focus 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 provide real-time insights to frontline tactical operators. We work at the tip of the spear, ensuring they can make the right decisions with zero lag. Achieving this in an environment of sensor overload requires next-generation AI algorithms, along with a complete leap in technology capabilities. That’s why Planck partnered with QCi to deliver in-demand AI using advanced electro-optical computing built to operate in low-thermal environments. We are excited to establish the foundation for a long-term collaboration with QCi as we build a solution that uniquely supports the extraordinary demands of NATO and allied forces around the world,” said Nathan Eskue, Managing Director of Planck Dynamics.
“The collaboration between Planck Dynamics and QCi represents a concrete step in bringing advanced nonlinear photonics capabilities to the European defense domain. This partnership confirms its strategic nature. As the lead investor and largest shareholder, NUNC Capital supported Planck Dynamics from its early stages, providing not only capital but also access to defense networks, verification channels, and systems.” reflects the type of companies we are building and scaling, translating cutting-edge innovation into deployable capabilities for men and women in the field,” said Bram Oostvogel, founding partner of NUNC Capital BV.
The agreement supports customers’ efforts to develop and deploy electro-optical computing technologies designed to address the emerging requirements of advanced data-intensive applications across multiple operating environments, and the companies will collaborate to accelerate the adoption of photonic reservoir computing for advanced temporal AI and machine learning applications.
This agreement represents a significant commercial milestone for QCi’s NeuraWave system and further supports the growing market interest in photonic computing technology for artificial intelligence applications. NeuraWave leverages photonic reservoir computing to address temporal AI and time-series machine learning workloads, enabling efficient processing of complex data-intensive applications where speed, power efficiency, and AI at the edge analytics are critical. This architecture is particularly suited for distributed AI deployments at the network edge, where moving large amounts of data to centralized computing resources may be impractical or undesirable.
This collaboration aligns with QCi’s vision to expand access to advanced computing technologies by bringing photonic AI capabilities to real-world commercial applications. The companies will begin technical kickoff activities and develop a formal statement of work to establish development milestones, integration goals, and deployment schedules. This partnership is expected to accelerate the adoption of photonic computing technology in the emerging AI market.
