Planck Dynamics announces partnership with QCI (Nasdaq: QUBT)

DELFT, 18 June 2026 - Planck Dynamics today announced a framework agreement with Quantum Computing Inc. (Nasdaq: QUBT) to deploy QCi's NeuraWave photonic reservoir computer as a foundational compute platform for next-generation AI at the tactical edge. The agreement opens with an initial purchase order for five NeuraWave systems and a commercial framework for scaled deployment as program milestones are met.

Planck Dynamics has entered a framework agreement with Quantum Computing Inc. (Nasdaq: QUBT) to deploy QCi's NeuraWave photonic reservoir computer as a foundational compute platform for RAPTR, the Delft-based company’s rugged tactical edge computing platform. The agreement opens with an initial purchase order for five NeuraWave systems, with delivery expected during 2026, and sets a commercial framework designed to support scaled deployment as program milestones are achieved, representing a potential aggregate program value in excess of $10 million.

Decisions at the tactical edge are made in seconds, increasingly against adversaries using AI to decide faster, and often with no link back to a data centre. The AI units carry into the field today holds them back: GPU-based systems run too hot and draw too much power for a vehicle, and moving data off the platform is a survivability risk. To put trustworthy, split-second AI in the operator's hands, the compute itself has to change.

Photonic reservoir computing is that change. NeuraWave processes temporal AI and time-series workloads using an electro-optic architecture, delivering real-time inference at microsecond latency in a low-power, low-thermal footprint built for edge-native environments where centralised compute is impractical or impossible. It is a direct answer to the constraints that make conventional AI hardware unfit for the frontline.

"Planck Dynamics was created to bring real-time insights to tactical operators at the frontlines. We work at the tip of the spear, ensuring the right decision can be made with zero latency. To do that in an environment of sensor overload, we need next-generation AI algorithms and a full leap in compute capability. That is why we partnered with QCi, developing our high-demand AI applications on advanced electro-optic computing built for low-power, low-thermal, edge-native environments. This is the foundation for a long-term collaboration as we build solutions that uniquely support the extraordinary demands of NATO and allied forces."

QCi has selected Planck Dynamics as the  commercialization and development partner for NeuraWave system. The two companies will commence technical kickoff activities and execute a formal Statement of Work to establish development milestones, integration objectives, and deployment schedules.

“Planck Dynamic’s collaboration with QCi represents a tangible step forward in bringing advanced nonlinear photonics capabilities into the European defense domain. That QCi has selected Planck Dynamics as an early commercialization and development partner for NeuraWave underscores the strategic nature of this collaboration. As the lead investor and main shareholder, NUNC Capital has supported Planck Dynamics from an early stage, providing not only capital but also access to defense networks, validation pathways, and initial market traction. This partnership reflects the kind of company NUNC aims to build and scale, one that translates cutting-edge innovation into deployable capabilities for the men and women on the ground,” ‍

“We believe photonic reservoir computing represents an important new computing architecture for AI workloads that must operate at the edge, where data are generated,” said Yong Meng Sua, Chief Technology Officer at QCi. “With NeuraWave, we’re giving organizations a highly differentiated path to deploy real-time intelligence for temporal AI and time-series applications, without dependence on centralized compute infrastructure.”

Planck Dynamics is built inside TU Delft's House of Quantum and is backed by NUNC Capital. The company is targeting a TRL-6 demonstrator of RAPTR in 2026, with the Netherlands as its first market and expansion across NATO allies to follow.
