The transaction, valued through a mix of cash and common shares, requires BTQ to maintain QPerfect’s registered office in France and ensure the continuity of its local research operations. By incorporating QPerfect’s proprietary MIMIQ™ emulator and Quantum Logical Unit framework, BTQ intends to bridge the gap between classical infrastructure and the emerging quantum internet. These tools allow researchers to model and validate quantum algorithms before deploying them on physical hardware, a necessity for sectors like defense and telecommunications as they prepare for post-quantum cryptographic standards.

Philippe Blot will remain at the helm of QPerfect, continuing the company’s research trajectory within the European Center for Quantum Sciences. The French government’s approval came with specific mandates to protect local intellectual property and strategic know-how, ensuring that the acquisition supports France’s technological sovereignty. This move establishes a significant European research hub for BTQ, leveraging a local ecosystem of scientists focused on neutral atom physics and quantum system design.
