en.Wedoany.com Reported - BTQ Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ: BTQ; CBOE CA: BTQ) has completed the acquisition of French quantum computing company QPerfect SA. Headquartered in Strasbourg, QPerfect specializes in quantum software, simulation, digital twin technology, and control system development. This acquisition makes QPerfect a wholly owned subsidiary of BTQ.
BTQ is a global quantum technology company focused on securing mission-critical networks. The acquisition stems from BTQ's previously announced strategic investment in QPerfect and the exercise of an option to acquire the remaining outstanding securities of the company. Details of the transaction can be found in the company's announcements filed on SEDAR+ and EDGAR on July 1, 2026.
QPerfect is led by a team of scientists and engineers with deep expertise in quantum optics, neutral atom physics, quantum software engineering, and quantum system design. Founded in 2023, the company has won the i-Lab award and achieved breakthrough results in quantum simulation, providing world-class quantum software, simulation, digital twin, and control capabilities for neutral atom platforms. Its technology is designed to help researchers, developers, and hardware manufacturers model, test, benchmark, and control quantum systems before and during quantum hardware deployment.
This acquisition aims to enhance BTQ's technical capabilities in building the transition from classical infrastructure to trusted quantum systems. BTQ defines "building trusted quantum technology" as preparing modern network infrastructure to securely coexist with quantum computers. This involves protecting modern systems from quantum threats, helping future networks remain secure, verifiable, and trustworthy throughout the quantum transition. As organizations begin post-quantum cryptography preparation, efficiency and implementation complexity are becoming key challenges. Quantum-safe cryptography may introduce larger keys, heavier computational demands, more complex handshakes, and new requirements for performance-sensitive networks such as embedded systems, telecommunications infrastructure, and defense environments. BTQ believes this transition requires not only new cryptographic standards but also optimized hardware, software, simulation, and control layers to enable large-scale practical deployment of quantum-safe systems.
By integrating QPerfect's technology and team, BTQ adds three core capabilities to its Quantum Ready infrastructure stack. MIMIQ is QPerfect's benchmark-leading quantum simulator, enabling developers and researchers to design, test, and verify quantum algorithms in software before deploying them on quantum hardware. This simulator outperforms existing simulators and current quantum computers in targeted benchmark environments, demonstrating stable 100+ qubit simulations on standard computing infrastructure, helping lower the barrier to large-scale quantum algorithm development, verification, and security testing. Digital twin capability is QPerfect's system modeling capability, creating software representations of quantum systems to help researchers and hardware developers simulate, optimize, and understand quantum architecture and performance. The Quantum Logic Unit (QLU) is QPerfect's multi-layer control framework designed to support the development of scalable, fault-tolerant quantum systems.
These capabilities are expected to provide practical verification and testing frameworks for quantum-ready infrastructure, with application scenarios including next-generation TLS handshakes, PQC migration verification, quantum-safe communications, protocol resilience, interoperability testing, and hybrid quantum-classical network environments. These use cases are particularly relevant for defense, telecommunications, critical infrastructure, and other sectors that must test, verify, and harden secure communications before deployment.
BTQ CEO and Chairman Olivier Roussy Newton stated that completing the acquisition of QPerfect is a significant milestone for the company. He noted that QPerfect brings world-class quantum software, simulation, digital twin, and neutral atom expertise into the organization, capabilities that expand BTQ's technology stack and advance its mission of building trusted quantum technology by helping organizations prepare for the software, modeling, verification, and control layers required for future quantum systems.
QPerfect CEO Philippe Blot stated that the company was founded to solve one of the most challenging problems in quantum computing—making quantum systems testable, repeatable, and scalable for deployment. He believes BTQ shares the same ambition and brings a global infrastructure and security focus to go further and faster. This collaboration comes at the right time in quantum technology development and aligns with the long-standing partnership between France and Canada, recently strengthened by the Joint Declaration on Quantum Science and Technology signed during the Digital G7 meeting chaired by France on May 29, 2026. The company will continue to grow on the campus of the European Center for Quantum Sciences (CESQ) in France.
Through this acquisition, BTQ will further strengthen its European quantum R&D activities in Strasbourg, France. QPerfect's geographic location and network provide BTQ with access to specialized talent, research partners, and technical expertise in quantum simulation, control systems, neutral atom computing, and quantum design automation. The company expects its European presence to support ongoing collaboration with universities, research institutions, and industrial partners.
QPerfect has established strong research relationships within the EU quantum ecosystem, including collaborations with universities, research institutions, and quantum computing industry partners. These relationships provide QPerfect with specialized support in quantum simulation, neutral atom computing, quantum design automation, and control systems. Its internal expertise is also reflected in recent research aligned with the simulation, digital twin, and QLU roadmap.
