Quantum Computing Inc. Hosts Ribbon-Cutting to Celebrate Grand Opening of Quantum Photonic Chip Foundry in Tempe, Arizona
Facility Accelerates Multi-Phase Growth Strategy in Quantum and Datacom Markets
TEMPE, Ariz., May 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Computing Inc. ("QCi" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: QUBT), an innovative, integrated photonics and quantum optics technology company, celebrated the grand opening of its quantum photonic chip foundry located in Tempe, Arizona at a ribbon cutting ceremony on May 12, 2025. The event was attended by Tempe Mayor Corey Woods, along with multiple government officials and industry leaders, who gathered to mark this milestone and highlight the community and industry benefits of the new state-of-the-art facility.
"The opening of this foundry by Quantum Computing Inc. represents the kind of forward-looking investment we want to attract to Tempe," said Mayor Corey Woods. "Not only does it bring high-tech jobs and economic development to our city, it also cements Tempe's growing reputation as a hub for innovation in quantum technologies and advanced manufacturing."
The facility represents a milestone in QCi's strategic roadmap to meet growing global demand for thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) photonic chips and accelerate the commercialization of its next-generation quantum machines.
Construction of the foundry was completed in March 2025, followed shortly by the finalization of its upgraded ISO certification ahead of schedule. The state-of-the-art facility is now operational, fulfilling existing customer pre-orders, and is positioned to scale production capacity to address rising demand across datacom, telecom, advanced sensing, and quantum computing markets.
The Tempe foundry is a specialized facility designed to serve customers seeking U.S.-based manufacturing of high-performance photonic chips, while laying the groundwork to supply critical components for QCi's proprietary quantum computing machines.
"The opening of our quantum photonic chip foundry is a milestone achievement in QCi's growth strategy, strengthening our manufacturing capabilities, supporting near and long-term revenue growth, and positioning us to accelerate innovation in both quantum and nanophotonic markets," said Dr. Yuping Huang, Interim Chief Executive Officer of QCi. "By controlling our supply chain and scaling chip production domestically, we are uniquely positioned to deliver value to customers while advancing our own quantum hardware development. I'd like to thank outgoing CEO Dr. Bill McGann for his leadership and dedication in bringing this foundry to completion. It was a privilege to join him at the ribbon cutting ceremony to mark this achievement."
QCi's Chief Revenue Officer, Dr. Pouya Dianat commented, "This grand opening is commercially significant to QCi. With the foundry operational, our near-term focus is to fulfill existing customer pre-orders and expand sales across datacom, telecom, and advanced sensing markets. We expect to see modest initial revenue from the fab this year, and as we scale and bring more customers online, we anticipate revenue growth starting to accelerate in 2026."
The launch of the Tempe foundry is a cornerstone of QCi's broader multi-phase growth strategy, which includes scaling capacity to meet evolving customer needs, enhancing vertical integration to accelerate internal product development, and expanding into emerging quantum computing markets.

‘Golden Share' in U.S. Steel Gives Trump Extraordinary Control
To save its takeover of U.S. Steel, Japan's Nippon Steel agreed to an unusual arrangement, granting the White House a 'golden share' that gives the government an extraordinary amount of influence over a U.S. company. New details of the agreement show that the structure would give President Trump and his successors a permanent stake in U.S. Steel, significant sway over its board and veto power over a wide array of company actions, an arrangement that could change the nature of foreign investment in the United States. The terms of the arrangement were hammered out in meetings that went late into the night on Wednesday and Thursday, according to two people familiar with the details. Representatives from Nippon Steel — which had been trying to acquire the struggling U.S. Steel since December 2023, but had been blocked by the Biden administration over national security concerns — came around to Mr. Trump's desire to take a stake that would give the U.S. government significant control over the company's actions. Nippon had argued that this influence should expire — perhaps after three or four years, the duration of the Trump administration. But in the meetings, which were held at the Commerce Department, Trump officials led by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick insisted that the golden share should last in perpetuity, the two people said. Under the terms of the national security pact, which the companies said they signed Friday, the U.S. government would retain a single share of preferred stock, called class G — as in gold. And U.S. Steel's charter will list nearly a dozen activities the company cannot undertake without the approval of the American president or someone he designates in his stead. Want all of The Times?
