Quantum Computing Inc., a pioneering company in integrated photonics and quantum optics technology, has been awarded a fifth project by NASA to develop quantum remote sensing technology for LiDAR missions. This collaboration aims to significantly lower the cost of spaceborne LIDAR imaging, advancing our understanding of climate change mechanisms. The proposed approach would reduce the cost of LiDAR missions from billions to millions, enabling more frequent flights and better comprehension of climate change causes. Dr. William McGann, CEO at Quantum Computing Inc., emphasized the company's commitment to providing innovative, cost-effective solutions for remote sensing applications. This partnership builds upon QCi's previous work with NASA, utilizing their entropy quantum optimization machine, the Dirac-3, to denoise sunlight in satellite LiDAR images.
