Zapata Quantum (OTC: ZPTA) announced that its patent for Quantum Intermediate Representation (QIR) has been granted in Canada, Europe, Israel, and Australia, completing global protection alongside an earlier U.S. grant. QIR is a hardware-agnostic translation layer enabling quantum applications to interoperate across distinct hardware and programming frameworks.
The company says this expands its intellectual property defenses for foundational hybrid quantum-classical infrastructure and complements a portfolio of over 60 granted and pending patents across application development, interoperability, and deployment layers.
Zapata Quantum (OTC: ZPTA) CEO Sumit Kapur spoke on two panels at Davos on January 20, 2026, arguing the next phase of quantum computing will be driven by building, validating, and deploying reliable quantum applications rather than hardware alone. Kapur positioned Zapata as a publicly traded, pure‑play, hardware‑agnostic quantum software company focused on the application layer that connects hardware progress to real‑world deployment. Panels covered commercialization, enterprise adoption, cybersecurity, and ecosystem collaboration, with industry and academic leaders emphasizing the need to bridge hardware advances to deployable solutions.
Zapata Quantum (OTC: ZPTA) announced a research collaboration with the University of Maryland to develop a verification-first approach for quantum applications. The project aims to produce a formally verified implementation of Shor’s factoring algorithm and publish associated resource estimates for independent validation and reuse. The effort applies end-to-end formal (mathematical proof-based) verification to reduce translation errors from algorithms to quantum circuits and to establish a template extendable to quantum chemistry, materials, optimization, and finance. Zapata framed the work as a response to a quoted industry gap in developing reliable, commercial-scale quantum applications and emphasized its hardware-agnostic software position.
Zapata Quantum (OTC: ZPTA) announced on December 22, 2025 the appointment of three leading quantum researchers—Dr. Alireza Shabani, Dr. Austin Fowler, and Dr. Jeff Grover—to its Scientific Advisory Board to strengthen its software-first approach and guide long-term technical direction.
The appointments emphasize Zapata’s hardware-agnostic quantum software focus, its IP portfolio, and efforts to align software, applications, and operational workflows with hardware advances.
Zapata Quantum (OTC: ZPTA) announced it is now current in SEC reporting after filing historical Form 10-K and 10-Qs, triggering a move from the OTC Expert Market to the OTC Pink Limited Market and enabling broader trading availability on Dec. 15, 2025. The company said it restructured over $10 million of liabilities in Q4, with the majority converted to equity, and plans a Form 15c2-11 filing and an OTCQB application as steps toward relisting on a national exchange such as Nasdaq.
