BTQ Technologies Corp. (BTQ), which is focused on securing mission-critical networks, has completed the acquisition of QPerfect, a French quantum computing company based in Strasbourg specializing in quantum software, emulation, digital twin capabilities, and control systems.
The completion of the acquisition follows BTQ’s previously announced strategic investment in QPerfect and exercise of its option to acquire the remaining outstanding securities of the company. For further details on the acquisition see the BTQ’s previously-disseminated news release dated July 1, 2026, filed on SEDAR+ and EDGAR. Following the closing, QPerfect is now a wholly owned subsidiary of BTQ.
QPerfect was founded in 2023 and has received the i-Lab Grand Prix for breakthrough work in quantum emulation, and is developing solutions for neutral atom platforms. The company aims to help researchers, developers, and hardware manufacturers model, test, benchmark, and control quantum systems before and during deployment on quantum hardware.
Strategic Rationale
According to BTQ, the Acquisition strengthens its ability to build technologies for the transition from classical infrastructure toward trusted quantum systems, in line with its aim to prepare modern network infrastructure to securely co-exist with quantum computers.
By integrating QPerfect’s technology and team, BTQ aims to add three important capabilities to its expanding Quantum Ready infrastructure stack:
- MIMIQ, QPerfect’s quantum emulator, which enables developers and researchers to design, test, and validate quantum algorithms in software before deploying them on quantum hardware. QPerfect says the emulator is designed to outperform existing simulators and current quantum computers in targeted benchmark environments, and that it has has demonstrated stable 100+ qubit simulations on standard computing infrastructure.
- Digital Twin, QPerfect’s system modeling capability, which is designed to create software-based representations of quantum systems, helping researchers and hardware developers simulate, optimize, and better understand quantum architectures and performance before physical deployment.
- Quantum Logical Unit, or QLU, QPerfect’s multi-layered control framework designed to support the development of scalable, fault-tolerant quantum systems.
Together, these capabilities are expected 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 for 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 quantum software, emulation, digital twin, and neutral atom expertise into our organization. These capabilities expand our technology stack and advance our mission of Building Trusted Quantum technologies by helping organizations prepare for the software, modeling, validation, and control layers required for future quantum systems.”
“We built QPerfect to solve one of the hardest problems in quantum computing — making quantum systems testable, reproducible, and deployable at scale,” said Philippe Blot, CEO of QPerfect. “BTQ shares that ambition, and brings the global infrastructure and security focus to help us go further, faster. This partnership with BTQ comes at the right time for quantum technology and aligns perfectly with the long-standing collaboration between France and Canada, recently strengthened by the joint statement on quantum sciences and technologies signed on May 29, 2026, on the sidelines of the French-presided Digital G7. We are particularly pleased to continue developing QPerfect in France, on the campus of the European Center for Quantum Sciences (CESQ).”
QPerfect’s Strasbourg Hub to Anchor BTQ’s European R&D
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. The company expects this European presence to support ongoing collaboration with universities, research institutions, and industrial partners, building on QPerfect’s existing relationships across the EU quantum ecosystem.
For QPerfect’s latest research, see the following:
- Noise tailoring for error mitigation and diagnosing digital quantum computers
Direct link: https://arxiv.org/abs/2601.04830
This paper introduces Noise Tailoring, a method designed to modify the structure of two-qubit gate noise through statistical sampling. In classical emulation, the authors report that Noise Tailoring combined with error mitigation can be up to five times more accurate than error mitigation alone for realistic Pauli noise, while also proposing the method as a diagnostic tool for hardware development. - Correlated Atom Loss as a Resource for Quantum Error Correction
Direct link: https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.24237
This paper is directly relevant to neutral-atom architectures and QPerfect’s work in QLU™ and Digital Twin modeling. It introduces a decoder that exploits correlated atom-loss structures in neutral-atom quantum processors, reporting up to an order-of-magnitude reduction in logical error probability and an increase in the loss threshold from 3.2% to 4%.
