Quantum-Si Incorporated

530 Old Whitfield Street

Guilford, CT 06437

Re: Registration Statement on Form S-8

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as legal counsel to Quantum-Si Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement"), pursuant to which the Company is registering the issuance under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), of an aggregate of 5,597,770 shares (the "Shares") of the Company's Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, that may be issued pursuant to the Company's 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). This opinion is being rendered in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement with the Commission. All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Registration Statement.

In connection with this opinion, we have examined the Company's Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws, each as currently in effect; such other records of the corporate proceedings of the Company and certificates of the Company's officers as we have deemed relevant; and the Registration Statement and the exhibits thereto.

In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, the authenticity of the originals of such copies, and the truth and correctness of any representations and warranties contained therein. In addition, we have assumed that the Company will receive any required consideration in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

Our opinion expressed herein is limited to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and we express no opinion with respect to the laws of any other jurisdiction. No opinion is expressed herein with respect to the qualification of the Shares under the securities or blue sky laws of any state or any foreign jurisdiction.

Please note that we are opining only as to the matters expressly set forth herein, and no opinion should be inferred as to any other matters. This opinion is based upon currently existing statutes, rules, regulations and judicial decisions, and we disclaim any obligation to advise you of any change in any of these sources of law or subsequent legal or factual developments which might affect any matters or opinions set forth herein.

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares, when issued and delivered in accordance with the terms of the Plan, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) The number of shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("Class A common stock"), of Quantum-Si Incorporated (the "Registrant") stated above consists of additional shares of Class A
 common stock available for issuance under the Quantum-Si Incorporated 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2021 Plan"), by operation of the 2021 Plan's "evergreen" provision. The maximum number of shares which may be sold upon the exercise
 of options or issuance of stock-based awards granted under the 2021 Plan is subject to adjustment in accordance with certain anti-dilution and other provisions of the 2021 Plan. Accordingly, pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act
 of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), this registration statement covers, in addition to the number of shares stated above, an indeterminate number of shares which may be subject to grant or otherwise issuable after the operation
 of any such anti-dilution and other provisions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the amount of the registration fee pursuant to Rule 457(c) and Rule 457(h) promulgated under the Securities Act. The offering price per share and the
 aggregate offering price for shares reserved for future grant or issuance under the 2021 Plan are based on the average of the high and the low price of Registrant's Class A common stock as reported on The Nasdaq Global Market as of a
 date (March 13, 2023) within five business days prior to filing this Registration Statement.
