Quantum Computing (NASDAQ: QUBT) unveils new photonic computing system

Quantum Computing Inc. (NASDAQ: QUBT) stock surged 16% Monday after the company announced plans to debut Neurawave, a photonics-based reservoir computing system, at the upcoming SuperCompute25 conference in November 2025.

The new PCIe-based platform represents a significant milestone in QCi’s photonic quantum roadmap, designed to integrate with existing computing infrastructures through a standard PCIe interface. Neurawave combines optical computing with digital electronics in a compact design that operates at room temperature.

“This launch marks a good step forward for QCi,” said Dr. Yuping Huang, CEO at QCi. “We are building photonic computing systems that not only push the boundaries of technology but also align with industry standards and integration requirements by making photonics-based computing practical and impactful.”

The reservoir computing system is particularly suited for edge-AI applications such as signal processing, time-series forecasting, and pattern recognition. According to the company, Neurawave delivers fast, energy-efficient performance for field operations, industrial settings, and embedded applications.

QCi will showcase Neurawave at Booth #4344 during SuperCompute25, held November 18-20, 2025, in St. Louis, Missouri. The company will also provide on-cloud demonstrations of its Dirac-3 quantum computer during the conference, allowing attendees to explore real-time quantum processing capabilities.
