Insider letter
- BTQ Technologies has completed the acquisition of French quantum software company QPerfect, making it a wholly owned subsidiary focused on quantum emulation, digital twins and control systems.
- The acquisition adds QPerfect’s quantum simulation and modeling technologies, including the MIMIQ emulator, Digital Twin capabilities and Quantum Logical Unit framework, to BTQ’s technology portfolio.
- QPerfect will continue to operate from Strasbourg, France, supporting BTQ’s European quantum research and development activities.
Press Release – BTQ Technologies Corp. (“BTQ” or that “Company”) (Nasdaq: BTQ) (CBOE CA: BTQ), a global quantum technology company focused on securing mission-critical networks, is pleased to announce that it has completed the acquisition of QPerfect SA (“QPerfect”), a French quantum computing company based in Strasbourg specializing in quantum software, emulation, digital twin functions and control systems.
The completion of the acquisition follows BTQ’s previously announced strategic investment in QPerfect and the exercise of its option to acquire the Company’s remaining outstanding securities. Further details regarding the Acquisition can be found in the Company’s previously published press release dated July 1, 2026, which was filed on SEDAR+ and EDGAR. Following the closing, QPerfect is now a wholly owned subsidiary of BTQ.
QPerfect is led by a team of scientists and engineers who have worked for years to advance the frontiers of neutral atom physics, quantum optics, quantum software development, and quantum system design. Founded in 2023, the i-Lab Grand Prix-awarded company is known for groundbreaking work in quantum emulation, providing world-class quantum software, emulation, digital twins, and control capabilities for neutral atom platforms. QPerfect’s technologies are designed to help researchers, developers and hardware manufacturers model, test, compare and control quantum systems before and during deployment on quantum hardware.

Strategic justification
The acquisition strengthens BTQ’s ability to develop technologies for the transition from classical infrastructure to trustless quantum systems. For BTQ, “building trustworthy quantum technologies” means preparing a modern network infrastructure to coexist securely with quantum computers. This is achieved by protecting modern systems from quantum-based threats and keeping future networks secure, verifiable and trustworthy throughout the quantum transition.
As enterprises begin to prepare for post-quantum cryptography, complexities related to efficiency and implementation become key challenges for adoption. Quantum-secure cryptography can bring larger keys, higher computational requirements, more complex handshakes and new constraints for embedded systems, telecommunications infrastructure, defense environments and other power-sensitive networks. BTQ believes that the transition requires not only new cryptographic standards, but also optimized hardware, software, simulation and control layers that make large-scale deployment of quantum secure systems practical.
By integrating QPerfect’s technology and team, BTQ adds three key capabilities to its growing Quantum Ready infrastructure stack:
- FRIENDSQPerfect’s leading quantum emulator, enabling developers and researchers to design, test and validate quantum algorithms in software before deploying them to quantum hardware. MIMIQ is designed to outperform existing simulators and current quantum computers in targeted benchmark environments. It has demonstrated stable 100+ qubit simulations on standard computing infrastructure, helping to lower the barrier to large-scale development, validation and security testing of quantum algorithms.
- Digital twinQPerfect’s system modeling capability, designed to create software-based representations of quantum systems and help researchers and hardware developers simulate, optimize and better understand quantum architectures and performance before physical deployment.
- Quantum logic unitor QLUQPerfect’s multi-layer control framework, designed to support the development of scalable, fault-tolerant quantum systems.
Together, these capabilities are intended to support practical validation and testing frameworks for quantum-ready infrastructure, including next-generation TLS handshakes, PQC migration validation, quantum-safe secure communications, protocol resilience, interoperability testing, and hybrid quantum-classical network environments. These use cases are particularly relevant to defense, telecommunications, critical infrastructure and other sectors where secure communications must be tested, validated and hardened before deployment.
“Completing the acquisition of QPerfect is an important milestone for BTQ,” said Olivier Roussy Newton, CEO and Chairman of BTQ. “QPerfect brings world-class expertise in quantum software, emulation, digital twin and neutral atoms to our organization. These capabilities expand our technology stack and advance our mission of building trustworthy quantum technologies by helping organizations prepare for the software, modeling, validation and control layers required for future quantum systems.”
“We developed QPerfect to solve one of the most difficult problems in quantum computing – making quantum systems testable, reproducible and deployable at scale,” he said Philippe Blot, CEO of QPerfect. “BTQ shares this ambition and brings a focus on global infrastructure and security to help us move further and faster. This partnership with BTQ comes at the right time for quantum technology and fits perfectly with the long-standing collaboration between France and Canada, recently strengthened by the Joint Declaration on Quantum Sciences and Technologies signed on May 29, 2026 on the sidelines of the French-led Digital G7. We are particularly pleased to welcome QPerfect in France on the campus of the European Center for Quantum Sciences “To further develop quantum sciences (CESQ).”
Qperfect’s Strasbourg hub anchors BTQ’s European research and development
Through the acquisition, BTQ will further anchor its European quantum research and development activities in Strasbourg, France, within a growing academic, scientific and industrial quantum ecosystem.
QPerfect’s location and network provide BTQ with access to specialized talent, research partnerships and technical expertise in quantum simulation, control systems, neutral atom computing and quantum design automation. The company expects this European presence to support ongoing collaboration with universities, research institutions and industry partners as BTQ continues to develop deployable, trustworthy quantum technologies.
Research, grants and internal expertise
QPerfect has established strong research relationships across the EU quantum ecosystem, including collaborations with universities, research institutions and industry partners in the field of quantum computing. Through these relationships, QPerfect gains access to specialized expertise in quantum simulation, neutral atom computing, quantum design automation and control systems, while supporting the continued development of technologies for scalable quantum systems.
QPerfect’s in-house expertise is also reflected in current research on its emulation, Digital Twin and QLU™ Roadmap:
- Noise adjustment for error reduction and diagnosis of digital quantum computers
Direct link: The article introduces noise tailoring, a method for modifying the structure of two-qubit gate noise through statistical sampling. In classical emulation, the authors report that noise tailoring combined with error reduction can be up to five times more accurate for realistic Pauli noise than error reduction alone, and also propose the method as a diagnostic tool for hardware development. - Correlated atomic loss as a resource for quantum error correction
Direct link: The article is directly relevant to neutral atom architectures and QPerfect’s work in QLU™ and modeling digital twins. It presents a decoder that exploits correlated atom loss structures in neutral atom quantum processors and reports an order of magnitude reduction in logic error probability and an increase in the loss threshold from 3.2% to 4%.
Together, these grants, publications and research activities strengthen QPerfect’s role as a research-focused quantum software company that advances the simulation, validation and control layers required for scalable neutral-atom quantum systems.
