Pomerantz Law Firm Takes Action Against Quantum Computing Inc.

In a significant legal development, Pomerantz LLP announced the initiation of a class action lawsuit against Quantum Computing Inc. (QCI), a company listed on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol QUBT. This lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, pertains to alleged violations of federal securities laws as detailed in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Details of the Class Action

This class action targets individuals and entities who purchased QCI securities from March 30, 2020, to January 15, 2025, a timeframe referred to in legal terms as the "Class Period." Plaintiffs seek to recover damages resulting from the alleged misrepresentations and omissions related to QCI’s business practices and financial condition.

As specified in the complaint, potential class members have until April 28, 2025, to express their interest in joining the action as Lead Plaintiffs. Interested investors can acquire a copy of the Complaint or seek further information directly from Pomerantz LLP's website.

Background on Quantum Computing Inc.

Founded in 2018, QCI claims to develop innovative quantum computing products utilizing non-linear quantum optics for high-performance applications. However, the firm has a history of frequently altering its business focus to align with evolving trends in the tech sector. Initially concentrating on quantum-computer-ready software services, QCI has shifted towards commercializing quantum photonic technologies and integrating these with artificial intelligence applications.

In 2023, QCI revealed plans for a Quantum Photonic Chip Foundry at Arizona State University's Research Park in Tempe, Arizona, with ambition set to produce thin film lithium niobate chips for quantum computing. The company projected mass production capabilities to commence between late 2024 and early 2025. Yet, as the lawsuit unfolds, the foundation of such claims is called into question.

Allegations of Misconduct

The lawsuit alleges that throughout the Class Period, QCI officials made several materially false or misleading statements concerning the company’s business operations and future prospects. These include:

• - Overstating the capabilities of QCI's quantum computing technologies.
• - Falsely representing the nature and scope of contracts with organizations such as NASA and others.
• - Misrepresenting progress towards the establishment of the anticipated TFLN foundry and related projects.
• - Concealing that certain business transactions involved undisclosed related party transactions.

These allegations came to a head particularly after reports from Iceberg Research and later Capybara Research emphasized claims of overstated ties to NASA and questioned the legitimacy of QCI's reported revenue streams. Following these publications, QCI’s stock price suffered notable declines, prompting heightened scrutiny from investors and the public alike.

Investor Considerations and Next Steps

Investors who feel adversely affected by their dealings with QCI during the specified Class Period are encouraged to stay informed and consider their rights under this class action. The legal proceedings led by Pomerantz LLP represent not only a means to seek financial restitution but also an opportunity to hold corporate leaders accountable for misleading practices. Legal counsel from the firm is readily available for consultation regarding participation in the lawsuit.

In these turbulent times for stakeholders in Quantum Computing Inc., the implications of this class action could resonate widely, influencing both public perception and future business prospects for QCI as it navigates the fallout from these serious claims.

As developments unfold, the financial community and interested parties will closely monitor the outcomes of this lawsuit, as it exemplifies the challenges faced by tech companies in maintaining transparency and accountability to their investors.
