Initial Production of 100 Units to Support Customer Programs While Foundry Scale-Up Advances Waterloo, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - July 14, 2026) - QuantumCore Ltd. (CSE: QNCR) ("QuantumCore" or the "Company") today announced the planned commercialization roadmap for Avalanche PhotoniQ ("Avalanche PhotoniQ"), which as previously announced on May 19, 2026, the Company has entered into an agreement to acquire, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Upon completion of the acquisition, Avalanche PhotoniQ will operate as a division of QuantumCore, focused on the development and manufacturing of its proprietary metasurface detector ("SPD") technology. The roadmap begins with the fabrication of 100 high-performance detectors at the Quantum and Nanotechnology Fabrication and Characterization Facility (QNFCF) and the National Research Council Canada. These initial units are expected to support customer evaluation programs and would represent the first commercial production of Avalanche PhotoniQ's technology. The Company expects commercialization activities to commence in the coming months as customer qualification programs begin. Based on an anticipated selling price of approximately US$20,000 per detector, the initial production of 100 detectors has the potential to generate revenue over the next twelve months while establishing the foundation for larger-scale commercial deployments. "Our roadmap represents an important milestone as Avalanche PhotoniQ transitions from research and development to commercialization," said Eugene Profis, Chief Executive Officer of QuantumCore. "The initial production of 100 units is intended to validate the manufacturing process, support customer qualification activities, and position the Company for future production at significantly greater scale." In parallel with initial production, and subject to the completion of the proposed acquisition, QuantumCore plans to transition to wafer fabrication runs and foundry process optimization at the Canadian Photonics Fabrication Centre in Ottawa. These activities are designed to refine manufacturing processes, improve production yields, and establish a scalable manufacturing platform capable of supporting growing demand from the global advanced computing industry. Potential customers for the Company's single-photon detector platform include developers of photonic quantum computers, neutral atom quantum computing systems, quantum networking and quantum communication companies, government research laboratories, national laboratories, universities, and advanced sensing organizations. While many quantum computers operate at cryogenic temperatures, room-temperature single-photon detectors play a critical role in photonic quantum computing architectures and quantum communication systems by detecting and measuring individual photons with exceptional speed and precision. They are also used extensively in quantum networking, quantum key distribution, lidar, fluorescence microscopy, semiconductor testing, and scientific instrumentation. As quantum computing roadmaps advance toward larger and more capable systems, demand for high-performance, scalable single-photon detectors is expected to grow significantly, positioning QuantumCore to address an expanding global market.
