Q/C Technologies Appoints Technion Professor Dr. Steven Frankel as Senior Quantum Advisor to Advance Photonic and Quantum-Class Computing Initiatives
Dr. Frankel brings extensive knowledge and deep expertise that bridges advanced physics and quantum technologies
New York, NY, Oct. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Q/C Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: QCLS) (“Q/C” or the “Company”), a pioneer of quantum-class computing at the speed of light, today announced the appointment of Steven Frankel, Ph.D. as Senior Quantum Advisor. Dr. Frankel will help guide the Company’s ongoing efforts in quantum-class photonic computing to advance the development and commercialization of Q/C’s innovative Laser Processing Unit (LPU). Developed by LightSolver, Q/C’s LPU is the world’s first light and laser-based computing system designed to solve complex optimization and combinatorial problems at the speed of light.
Dr. Frankel is currently the Rosenblatt Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology and previously served for more than three decades as a professor at Purdue University. His research spans computational fluid dynamics, turbulence, combustion, and multiphase systems, with recent work focused on machine learning and quantum computing hardware. During a research fellowship at Quantum Machines in Tel Aviv, Dr. Frankel contributed to projects involving superconducting qubits, trapped ions, and physics-informed neural networks, bringing deep domain expertise that bridges advanced physics and quantum technologies.
“We are honored to welcome Dr. Frankel to Q/C Technologies,” said Joshua Silverman, Executive Chairman. “His distinguished academic background and applied research in quantum computational systems and physics-based neural networks bring exceptional insight to our collaboration with LightSolver. Dr. Frankel’s expertise will be instrumental as we pursue first-mover advantages in quantum-class photonic computing, helping translate this breakthrough from development to commercialization across the high-performance computing sector.”
Dr. Frankel added, “Q/C Technologies is at the forefront of merging photonic and quantum computing to tackle some of the most complex computational challenges. I’m excited to help the Company accelerate its path toward commercialization and deliver computing solutions that redefine speed, scalability, and sustainability.”
