BTQ Technologies Announces Strategic Partnership with QPerfect to Achieve Quantum Advantage Using Neutral Atom Quantum Processors
- Strategic partnership combines BTQ's cryptographic expertise with QPerfect's advanced quantum computing capabilities
- Access to QPerfect's cutting-edge MIMIQ emulation platform and Quantum Logic Unit (QLU) technology
- Development of practical applications for quantum-secure transactions, smart contracts, and decentralized identity
- Clear implementation roadmap with defined roles and objectives targeted by June 30, 2025
- No immediate revenue impact or financial terms disclosed
- Implementation timeline and commercial viability remain uncertain
- Success depends on future technological developments in quantum computing
- BTQ Technologies and QPerfect have entered a strategic partnership to co-develop quantum-secure applications using neutral atom quantum computers, coinciding with QPerfect CEO Philippe Blot's participation in the France Quantum roundtable "How Emulators Can Accelerate Your Quantum Technology Adoption?", held under the High Patronage of President Emmanuel Macron and in the presence of French Minister for the Armed Forces, Sébastien Lecornu.
- The partnership merges BTQ's cryptographic and quantum algorithms expertise with QPerfect's advanced emulation and error correction capabilities, aiming to deliver fault-tolerant quantum algorithms for quantum-secure transactions, one-shot signatures, smart contracts, decentralized identity, quantum money, and secure communications.
- QPerfect will provide research resources and emulation tools, while BTQ will lead the quantum algorithm design and implementation of quantum-safe cryptographic protocols, with a formal implementation roadmap targeted by June 30, 2025.
The collaboration combines BTQ's expertise in post-quantum cryptography and quantum algorithms with QPerfect's Quantum Logic Unit (QLU)—an accelerator for quantum error correction that translates high-level quantum circuits into highly optimized machine code tailored for neutral atom quantum processors.
QPerfect is a pioneering quantum computing startup specializing in quantum emulation, quantum software, and quantum error correction, with a focus on neutral atom architectures. By harnessing its modular QLU, QPerfect bridges the gap between quantum algorithm design and real hardware execution, empowering researchers, developers, and end-users to accelerate the realization of industry-transforming quantum applications. The company's flagship product, MIMIQ, is a cutting-edge emulation platform that delivers unmatched speed, accuracy, and flexibility for testing quantum algorithms, surpassing the capabilities of both traditional quantum simulators and today's quantum computers.
BTQ has pioneered research into quantum one-shot signatures— a quantum cryptographic primitive that will form the bedrock underlying secure quantum communication systems and the quantum internet. BTQ's work addresses critical vulnerabilities in digital transactions and blockchain systems by developing protocols that leverage self-destructing quantum keys and post-quantum secure verification mechanisms. The company's research team, comprising leading post-quantum cryptographers, has demonstrated practical applications of one-shot signatures in financial transactions, smart contracts, and decentralized identity management systems.
Key objectives of the collaboration include:
- Joint design, development, and testing of practical quantum algorithms for quantum one-shot signatures, with a focus on efficient implementation on neutral atom hardware.
- Co-development of fault-tolerant, hardware-specific approaches to quantum one-shot signatures and associated applications that prioritize minimal use of quantum resources.
- Delivery of a blueprint and prototype for quantum one-shot signatures compatible with next-generation neutral atom quantum computers.
Defined Roles
Under the agreement, QPerfect will assemble a dedicated team of researchers and provide access to its leading quantum emulation tools, while BTQ will translate advanced cryptographic concepts into implementable quantum algorithms. Both parties will collaborate on project planning, patent applications, and scientific dissemination.
