For further details on the acquisition\nsee the Company's previously-disseminated news release dated July 1, 2026,\nfiled on SEDAR+ and EDGAR. Following the closing, QPerfect is now a wholly\nowned subsidiary of BTQ.\n\nQPerfect is led by a team of scientists and engineers who have spent years\nadvancing the frontier of neutral atom physics, quantum optics, quantum\nsoftware engineering, and quantum system design. Founded in 2023, the company\nis recognized with the i-Lab Grand Prix and is known for breakthrough work in\nquantum emulation, bringing world-class quantum software, emulation, digital\ntwin, and control capabilities for neutral atom platforms. QPerfect's\ntechnologies are designed to help researchers, developers, and hardware\nmanufacturers model, test, benchmark, and control quantum systems before and\nduring deployment on quantum hardware.\n\nStrategic Rationale\n\nThe Acquisition strengthens BTQ's ability to build technologies for the\ntransition from classical infrastructure toward trusted quantum systems. For\nBTQ, \"Building Trusted Quantum Technologies\" means preparing modern network\ninfrastructure to securely co-exist with quantum computers. This is achieved\nby protecting modern systems from quantum-enabled threats, helping future\nnetworks remain secure, verifiable, and trusted throughout the quantum\ntransition.\n\nAs organizations begin preparing for post-quantum cryptography, complexities\nsurrounding efficiency and implementation are becoming critical challenges for\nadoption. Quantum-safe cryptography can introduce larger keys, heavier\ncomputational requirements, more complex handshakes, and new constraints for\nembedded systems, telecommunications infrastructure, defense environments, and\nother performance-sensitive networks. BTQ believes the transition will require\nnot only new cryptographic standards, but also optimized hardware, software,\nsimulation, and control layers that make quantum-secure systems practical to\ndeploy at scale.\n\nBy integrating QPerfect's technology and team, BTQ adds three important\ncapabilities to its expanding Quantum Ready infrastructure stack:\n\n * MIMIQ, QPerfect's benchmark-leading quantum emulator, which enables developers\nand researchers to design, test, and validate quantum algorithms in software\nbefore deploying them on quantum hardware. Designed to outperform existing\nsimulators and current quantum computers in targeted benchmark environments,\nMIMIQ has demonstrated stable 100+ qubit simulations on standard computing\ninfrastructure, helping lower the barrier to large-scale quantum algorithm\ndevelopment, validation, and security testing.\n * Digital Twin, QPerfect's system modeling capability, which is designed to\ncreate software-based representations of quantum systems, helping researchers\nand hardware developers simulate, optimize, and better understand quantum\narchitectures and performance before physical deployment.\n * Quantum Logical Unit, or QLU, QPerfect's multi-layered control framework\ndesigned to support the development of scalable, fault-tolerant quantum\nsystems.\nTogether, these capabilities are expected to support practical validation and\ntesting frameworks for quantum-ready infrastructure, including next-generation\nTLS handshakes, PQC migration validation, quantum-safe secure communications,\nprotocol resilience, interoperability testing, and hybrid quantum-classical\nnetwork environments. These use cases are particularly relevant for defense,\ntelecommunications, critical infrastructure, and other sectors where secure\ncommunications must be tested, validated, and hardened before deployment.\n\n\"Completing the acquisition of QPerfect is an important milestone for BTQ,\"\nsaid Olivier Roussy Newton, CEO and Chairman of BTQ. \"QPerfect brings\nworld-class quantum software, emulation, digital twin, and neutral atom\nexpertise into our organization. These capabilities expand our technology\nstack and advance our mission of Building Trusted Quantum technologies by\nhelping organizations prepare for the software, modeling, validation, and\ncontrol layers required for future quantum systems.\"\n\n\"We built QPerfect to solve one of the hardest problems in quantum computing\n-- making quantum systems testable, reproducible, and deployable at scale,\"\nsaid Philippe Blot, CEO of QPerfect. \"BTQ shares that ambition, and brings the\nglobal infrastructure and security focus to help us go further, faster. This\npartnership with BTQ comes at the right time for quantum technology and aligns\nperfectly with the long-standing collaboration between France and Canada,\nrecently strengthened by the joint statement on quantum sciences and\ntechnologies signed on May 29, 2026, on the sidelines of the French-presided\nDigital G7. We are particularly pleased to continue developing QPerfect in\nFrance, on the campus of the European Center for Quantum Sciences (CESQ).\"\n\nQPerfect's Strasbourg Hub Anchors BTQ's European R&D\n\nThrough the Acquisition, BTQ will further anchor its European quantum research\nand development activities in Strasbourg, France, within a growing academic,\nscientific, and industrial quantum ecosystem.\n\nQPerfect's location and network provide BTQ with access to specialized talent,\nresearch partnerships, and technical expertise across quantum simulation,\ncontrol systems, neutral atom computing, and quantum design automation. The\nCompany expects this European presence to support ongoing collaboration with\nuniversities, research institutions, and industrial partners as BTQ continues\nto develop deployable trusted quantum technologies.\n\nResearch, Grants, and In-House Expertise\n\nQPerfect has established strong research relationships across the EU quantum\necosystem, including collaborations with universities, research institutions,\nand industrial partners in quantum computing. These relationships provide\nQPerfect with access to specialized expertise across quantum simulation,\nneutral atom computing, quantum design automation, and control systems, while\nsupporting continued development of technologies for scalable quantum systems.\n\nQPerfect's in-house expertise is also reflected in recent research aligned\nwith its emulation, Digital Twin, and QLU™ roadmap:\n\n * Noise tailoring for error mitigation and diagnosing digital quantum computers\nDirect link:\n \n(https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4727473-1&h=1153210836&u=https%3A%2F%2Fedge.prnewswire.com%2Fc%2Flink%2F%3Ft%3D0%26l%3Den%26o%3D4723554-1%26h%3D2412664422%26u%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Farxiv.org%252Fabs%252F2601.04830%253Futm_source%253Dchatgpt.com%26a%3D%25C2%25A0&a=%C2%A0)\n\nhttps://arxiv.org/abs/2601.04830\n\n(https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4727473-1&h=2626456708&u=https%3A%2F%2Fedge.prnewswire.com%2Fc%2Flink%2F%3Ft%3D0%26l%3Den%26o%3D4723554-1%26h%3D1839145156%26u%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Farxiv.org%252Fabs%252F2601.04830%253Futm_source%253Dchatgpt.com%26a%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Farxiv.org%252Fabs%252F2601.04830&a=https%3A%2F%2Farxiv.org%2Fabs%2F2601.04830+)\n\nThis paper introduces Noise Tailoring, a method designed to modify the\nstructure of two-qubit gate noise through statistical sampling.
