Quantum Computing Inc. (QUBT) has announced a significant expansion of its technology into the non-destructive testing (NDT) sector with a new purchase order from Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. The order received is for QUBT’s Quantum Photonic Vibrometer (QPV), a LiDAR-based system designed for advanced structural monitoring and NDT applications.
The QPV is engineered to enable contactless and eye-safe vibration detection with an impressive sensitivity down to 110 nanometers. This capability is particularly valuable for applications in aerospace and other high-stakes industries where structural integrity and monitoring are paramount. The sale to Delft University of Technology, a leading research institution, is a key step in validating QUBT’s sensing technology for real-world engineering research. The university will benchmark the QPV against traditional laser Doppler vibrometers (LDVs), a process that is expected to further reinforce the system's position in the NDT market.
This purchase order highlights QUBT's strategy of translating its core research into practical, commercial applications across multiple sectors. While the company is also making strides in secure communications, automotive AI, and cybersecurity, this specific sale underscores the growing demand for quantum-enabled solutions that can enhance the precision and effectiveness of traditional NDT methods.
