Shares of Quantum Computing Inc (QUBT) dropped by 6.73% from $1.04 to $0.97 in the trading on Wednesday, October 4, 2023. The reason why QUBT is down today is due to news about Quantum Computing Inc.'s (QCi) successful field validation of its Quantum Photonic Detection and Ranging Variant 3 (VX3) unexploded ordnance detection sensor. While this technology shows promise for humanitarian mine clearance and explosive ordnance disposal, the market reacted cautiously, possibly due to uncertainty about its commercialization. The VX3 sensor uses Quantum Single Photon Detection (QSPD) and optical pulses to detect landmines and unexploded ordnances, addressing a global landmine problem. In addition, landmines are a global concern, with millions of landmines in around 70 countries, posing a threat to civilians. The market's response likely reflects uncertainty about the technology's timeline and commercialization, leading to the decline in QUBT's stock price.
