FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Quantum Computing Inc. Appoints Susan Hunt as

Chief Revenue Officer and Creates Chief Product Officer

Role to Accelerate Commercial Growth

● Former CRO, Pouya Dianat, assumes newly created Chief Product

Officer role, strengthening product leadership while accelerating commercial growth

HOBOKEN,

NJ – JULY 22, 2026 – Quantum

Computing Inc. (“QCi” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq:

QUBT), a vertically integrated quantum company pioneering photonics and semiconductor manufacturing, today announced the appointment of

Susan Hunt as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) and that Pouya Dianat, who has served as the Company’s CRO, will transition into the newly

created role of Chief Product Officer (CPO). The leadership changes reflect QCi’s continued focus on accelerating commercial growth

while strengthening product strategy and execution as the Company scales.

Joining QCi as CRO, Susan Hunt is an accomplished technology executive

with more than 30 years of experience driving revenue growth and commercializing disruptive technologies across enterprise software, artificial

intelligence, cloud computing, telecommunications and emerging technology markets. Hunt has consistently united cross-functional teams,

developed scalable revenue organizations and successfully brought breakthrough technologies to market, driving sustained commercial growth.

Throughout her career, Hunt has held executive leadership positions

at Orbital Insight, Nuance Communications, LivePerson, Salesforce and Sprint PCS, where she built and led high-performing global sales

organizations, negotiated more than $2 billion in enterprise agreements and helped scale category-defining companies through rapid growth

and market expansion. She is widely recognized for bringing breakthrough technologies to market and building enterprise sales organizations

that consistently deliver sustainable revenue growth.

The creation of the Chief Product Officer (CPO) role marks an important

step in QCi’s evolution. As CPO, Dianat will lead the Company’s product vision, strategy and management, ensuring QCi’s

technologies are translated into differentiated solutions that address the evolving needs of commercial and government customers. Bringing

a unique combination of market insight, customer understanding, and deep knowledge of QCi’s technical portfolio, Dianat is well-positioned

to drive the Company’s product roadmap and accelerate innovation aligned with customer demand.

“This is a thoughtful and strategic evolution of our leadership

team as QCi enters its next phase of growth,” said Yuping Huang, CEO of QCi. “Our technology and products are ready for broader

deployment, delivering meaningful value to customers through practical applications in real-world environments. We are excited to welcome

Susan to lead our revenue organization and accelerate commercial growth, while Pouya brings his deep understanding of our technology,

customers and markets to the Chief Product Officer role. Together, they will strengthen our ability to execute our strategy and create

long-term value for our customers and shareholders.”

As Chief Revenue Officer, Hunt will lead QCi’s global revenue

strategy, sales organization, business development, strategic partnerships, customer success initiatives and go-to-market execution as

the Company continues expanding its commercial presence.

“As organizations increasingly look to harness the power of quantum

technology to solve complex business challenges, QCi is uniquely positioned to deliver practical, differentiated solutions,” said

Susan Hunt, CRO. “Throughout my career, I have been passionate about bringing bleeding-edge technologies to market and building

world-class enterprise sales organizations. I look forward to partnering with the exceptional team at QCi to accelerate commercialization,

deepen customer relationships and drive the Company’s next phase of growth.”

As Chief Product Officer, Dianat will oversee product strategy, management

and commercialization, working closely with technology, engineering and marketing teams to ensure QCi’s innovations are developed

into market-leading solutions that solve meaningful customer challenges.

“I’m excited to take on this new role at an important point

in QCi’s growth,” said Pouya Dianat, CPO. “Our opportunity is to transform innovative quantum technologies into products

that solve real business problems. I look forward to leading our product strategy and working across the organization to bring solutions

to market that help executives address complex operational challenges while unlocking the full potential of our technology.”

These leadership appointments underscore QCi’s commitment to

aligning its executive team to support the Company’s next phase of growth. By strengthening leadership across both product innovation

and commercial execution, QCi is well-positioned to accelerate customer adoption, expand revenue opportunities and deliver long-term value

to customers, partners and shareholders.
