News release date July 8, 2026 Date of BTQ news release on acquisition completion
Digital Twin technical
"Acquisition adds QPerfect's MIMIQ™ quantum emulator, Digital Twin capabilities, and Quantum Logical Unit"
A digital twin is a live virtual replica of a physical asset, process, or system that mirrors real-world behavior using data and models so users can test changes, predict problems, and measure performance without touching the real thing. For investors, digital twins matter because they can lower maintenance costs, speed product development, improve uptime and reliability, and make future cash flows and risks easier to forecast — like using a flight simulator to safely train and tune a real airplane.
post-quantum cryptography technical
"As organizations begin preparing for post-quantum cryptography, complexities surrounding efficiency and implementation are becoming critical challenges"
Post-quantum cryptography is a set of new methods for scrambling data so it stays secure even if powerful quantum computers exist; think of replacing today’s locks with designs that a future high‑speed lockpicker cannot open. For investors, it matters because companies must upgrade systems, meet regulations, and protect customer and trade data—creating costs, competitive advantages, or legal and reputational risks depending on how quickly and effectively they adopt these new security standards.
neutral atom computing technical
"expertise across quantum simulation, control systems, neutral atom computing, and quantum design automation"
Neutral atom computing uses individual uncharged atoms held in place and manipulated with focused light to act as quantum bits (the basic units of quantum information). Think of it like arranging tiny, isolated billiard balls on a grid and nudging them with laser 'pokes' to perform calculations that classical computers struggle with. Investors care because this approach promises a potentially scalable, stable pathway to larger quantum processors, which could enable new computing power and create commercial value if technical challenges are solved.

BTQ Technologies Completes Acquisition of QPerfect, Advancing Its Mission of Building Trusted Quantum Technologies With World-Class Emulation, Digital Twin, and Control Capabilities

This news release constitutes a "designated news release" for the purposes of BTQ's prospectus supplement dated June 18, 2026, to its short form base shelf prospectus dated April 29, 2025, as amended on September 22, 2025.

Acquisition adds QPerfect's MIMIQ™ quantum emulator, Digital Twin capabilities, and Quantum Logical Unit to BTQ's expanding technology stack, advancing its mission of Building Trusted Quantum Technologies.

VANCOUVER, BC, July 8, 2026 /CNW/ - BTQ Technologies Corp. ("BTQ" or the "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 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 Company'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 is led by a team of scientists and engineers who have spent years advancing the frontier of neutral atom physics, quantum optics, quantum software engineering, and quantum system design. Founded in 2023, the company is recognized with the i-Lab Grand Prix and is known for breakthrough work in quantum emulation, bringing world-class quantum software, emulation, digital twin, and control capabilities for neutral atom platforms. QPerfect's technologies are designed to help researchers, developers, and hardware manufacturers model, test, benchmark, and control quantum systems before and during deployment on quantum hardware.

Strategic Rationale

The Acquisition strengthens BTQ's ability to build technologies for the transition from classical infrastructure toward trusted quantum systems. For BTQ, "Building Trusted Quantum Technologies" means preparing modern network infrastructure to securely co-exist with quantum computers. This is achieved by protecting modern systems from quantum-enabled threats, helping future networks remain secure, verifiable, and trusted throughout the quantum transition.

As organizations begin preparing for post-quantum cryptography, complexities surrounding efficiency and implementation are becoming critical challenges for adoption. Quantum-safe cryptography can introduce larger keys, heavier computational requirements, more complex handshakes, and new constraints for embedded systems, telecommunications infrastructure, defense environments, and other performance-sensitive networks. BTQ believes the transition will require not only new cryptographic standards, but also optimized hardware, software, simulation, and control layers that make quantum-secure systems practical to deploy at scale.

By integrating QPerfect's technology and team, BTQ adds three important capabilities to its expanding Quantum Ready infrastructure stack:

•MIMIQ, QPerfect's benchmark-leading quantum emulator, which enables developers and researchers to design, test, and validate quantum algorithms in software before deploying them on quantum hardware. Designed to outperform existing simulators and current quantum computers in targeted benchmark environments, MIMIQ has demonstrated stable 100+ qubit simulations on standard computing infrastructure, helping lower the barrier to large-scale quantum algorithm development, validation, and security testing.
•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 Anchors 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.

QPerfect's location and network provide BTQ with access to specialized talent, research partnerships, and technical expertise across 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 industrial partners as BTQ continues to develop deployable trusted quantum technologies.

Research, Grants, and In-House Expertise

QPerfect has established strong research relationships across the EU quantum ecosystem, including collaborations with universities, research institutions, and industrial partners in quantum computing. These relationships provide QPerfect with access to specialized expertise across quantum simulation, neutral atom computing, quantum design automation, and control systems, while supporting continued development of technologies for scalable quantum systems.

QPerfect's in-house expertise is also reflected in recent research aligned with its emulation, Digital Twin, and QLU™ roadmap:

•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%.

Together, these grants, publications, and research activities reinforce QPerfect's role as a research-driven quantum software company advancing the simulation, validation, and control layers needed for scalable neutral-atom quantum systems.
