Quantum Computing Inc. Announces Dirac-3S, Scaling to Nearly 10,000 Variables

• Scales quantum optimization to up to nearly 10,000 variables, a 10x increase over QCi's current 1,000-variable system, while delivering faster performance, production-ready reliability and scalable manufacturing
• First customer shipment of Dirac-3S upgrade expected in Q4 2026

HOBOKEN, N.J., Oct. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Computing Inc. ("QCi" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: QUBT), a vertically integrated quantum systems company pioneering photonics and semiconductor manufacturing, today announced Dirac-3S, the next-generation of its Dirac-3 quantum optimization machine, marking a significant step toward commercial deployment of QCi's quantum optimization technology.

Dirac-3S advances the platform across three areas – Speed, Scale and Solutions – with faster performance, improved solution quality, increased computing capacity and a modular architecture designed to support customers as their requirements grow.  The first customer shipment of Dirac-3S is expected in November 2026.

Speed. Scale. Solutions.

Speed: Dirac-3S is engineered to efficiently solve increasingly complex optimization problems, with practical computation times demonstrated on problems involving up to 9,980 variables while consistently finding the optimal solution. This enables customers to tackle larger problems and explore more possibilities in less time.
