Wins TFLN Photonic Chip Contract by U.S. Department of Commerce&#8217;s National Institute of Standards and Technology"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Quantum Computing Inc. announced it has been awarded a contract by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), part of the U.S. Department of Commerce, for the design and fabrication of thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) photonic integrated circuits (PICs). In addition, the Company has received a chip order from a Fortune 500 science and technology company that provides advanced solutions across defense, intelligence, civil, and commercial markets. This is QCi&#8217;s first direct government contract for its TFLN foundry services and represents a key step in its plans to become a trusted U.S.-based supplier of advanced photonic technologies.<\/p>\n<p>Together with this new commercial order, the contract builds on QCi&#8217;s prior quantum-related government subcontracts and underscores growing demand for domestic TFLN capabilities. The period of performance runs from June 16, 2025, through April 15, 2026. The contract leverages QCi&#8217;s cutting edge prototyping capabilities and foundry services to deliver mission-critical photonic components on an accelerated timeline.<\/p>\n<p>The project scope includes design support and fabrication of TFLN-based PICs, with performance requirements focused on low optical-loss waveguides, high-performance modulators, and narrow-band filters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Quantum Computing Inc. announced it has been awarded a contract by the National Institute of Standards and Technology&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":30717,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[4323,467,86,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-45745","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-computing","8":"tag-computing","9":"tag-markets","10":"tag-technology","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom","13":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45745","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45745"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45745\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30717"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45745"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45745"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45745"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
