U.S. quantum computing firm Quantum Computing (QCi; Nasdaq: QUBT) will participate in an investor conference in New York. As the company expands its business beyond quantum computing into photonics and semiconductor manufacturing, its management will meet investors directly to explain the company's business strategy.

Quantum Computing announced it will attend the 'Lake Street Capital Markets 10th Annual Best Ideas Growth (Big10) Conference,' to be held on September 10 at the Metropolitan Club in New York.

CEO Yuping Huang and CFO Roberts to Hold One-on-One Investor Meetings

CEO Yuping Huang and CFO Chris Roberts will attend the event. The two executives plan to hold one-on-one meetings with investors during the conference.

This schedule is significant in that it gives QCi an opportunity to directly explain to the market its vertically integrated business model combining photonics and semiconductor manufacturing, going beyond quantum computing technology.

Quantum, Photonics, and Semiconductor as One Value Chain

QCi provides foundry services for photonic chips and semiconductor manufacturing while building a business structure that connects photonics and electronic components to subsystems and full-stack systems. In particular, the company emphasizes that it has incorporated manufacturing capabilities into its own business areas, targeting real industrial applications of quantum technology.

On the technology side, QCi's technologies are designed to operate at room temperature with relatively low power consumption. Target applications include high-performance computing (HPC), artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, aerospace and defense, and advanced sensing and imaging.

QCi is headquartered in Hoboken, New Jersey, and also operates in Arizona, California, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, North Carolina, and Virginia.

Key Focus: 'Commercialization Strategy'

The market considers whether quantum computing companies can move beyond the R&D stage to demonstrate actual revenue and production capacity a key evaluation factor. QCi is also pursuing the commercialization of quantum technology by connecting advanced materials and device design, photonics, and semiconductor manufacturing into a single value chain.

However, this announcement concerns only the company's participation schedule for the investor conference, and no new contracts, orders, earnings guidance, or new technological achievements have been announced. Therefore, whether additional details on business progress and commercialization strategy will be presented at the September 10 meeting between management and investors is expected to be a key point to watch.
