QPerfect integrates MIMIQ with SDT's QUREKA to launch cloud quantum emulation service
QPerfect + SDT: MIMIQ-powered emulation goes live on QUREKA
A production cloud emulation service built by QPerfect and SDT is now available, integrating QPerfect's MIMIQ engine into SDT's hybrid platform QUREKA.
The offering, operated and commercialized through SDT while MIMIQ runs in a secure European cloud, went live on 2026-02-01 and targets research groups, industrial R&D teams, and enterprise innovation programs.
Technically, the emulation stack combines state-vector and Matrix Product State (MPS) techniques to mirror circuits at scales the current generation of hardware cannot reach—advertised as capable of emulating thousands of qubits and millions of gates.
SDT’s platform-level integration is positioned to let teams design, test, and validate algorithms in a production cloud environment before committing to fragile physical processors or future fault-tolerant stacks.
The collaboration appears aligned with BTQ Technologies’ broader strategy: BTQ currently holds a 16.67% interest in QPerfect and has signaled plans to complete acquisition steps pending regulatory clearance.
Market context supplied in the announcement frames the opportunity: the global quantum simulation platforms segment was estimated at $885 million in 2025 and is projected to reach $3.8 billion by 2035 (15.7% CAGR), with Asia Pacific accounting for roughly 25.6% of 2024 revenue.
SDT also cites a Korea-specific simulation market trajectory—from about $100 million in 2024 to roughly $800 million by 2033 (an estimated 28.1% CAGR)—underscoring regional commercial intent.
SDT brings local industrial links and academic ties; QPerfect supplies the emulator and QLU execution layer aimed at bridging noisy devices to fault-tolerant architectures.
Operationally, SDT will manage the customer-facing service, while QPerfect retains responsibility for the emulation backend and cloud maintenance, a split that reduces go-to-market friction for enterprises but centralizes tech custody with the French software team.
For R&D organizations and vendor-neutral integrators, the combined stack offers a pathway to validate larger circuits and hybrid workflows ahead of general-purpose quantum hardware maturity.
The announcement therefore reads as a deliberate move to commercialize large-scale quantum emulation in APAC while tying software IP to an expanding cloud platform ecosystem.

Quobly launches Canadian arm in Sherbrooke to accelerate silicon quantum integration
French quantum microelectronics firm Quobly has established a Canadian subsidiary in Sherbrooke to deepen R&D, hardware–software co-design, and industrial partnerships within Quebec’s quantum ecosystem. The move targets tighter integration with local research centres, specialized cryogenic and packaging platforms, and the recruitment of a small engineering team to support its 2032 industrial roadmap toward fault-tolerant processors.
Microsoft and Hyperscalers Push Quantum Into Data Centers; Energy and Security Implications Loom
Major cloud providers are accelerating efforts to colocate quantum accelerators with classical servers in commercial data centers, targeting pilot-grade demonstrations around the turn of the decade. That shift creates opportunities for dramatic per‑task compute and energy savings on narrow problems while simultaneously forcing operators to prioritize post‑quantum cryptography, identity-driven zero‑trust controls, and new power and cooling architectures today.
BTQ’s Bitcoin Quantum Testnet Lays Bare Public‑Key Exposure and Migration Costs
BTQ Technologies launched a Bitcoin-like testnet on Jan. 12, 2026 that swaps Bitcoin’s elliptic-curve signatures for a NIST-standardized module-lattice scheme to measure operational impacts. The experiment highlights concentrated long-term risk where public keys are already visible onchain and underscores that any real-world migration will be constrained by blockspace, bandwidth and coordination trade-offs.
Infleqtion’s SPAC merger clears path to NYSE listing as quantum valuations face a reality check
Shareholders of Churchill Capital Corp X approved its merger with Infleqtion, allowing the combined company to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange on 2026-02-17 with a reported pre-money valuation of $1.8 billion. The listing arrives amid a dramatic run-up in public quantum stocks and will test whether investor enthusiasm can withstand demands for tangible technical progress and commercial traction.
VisionWave Secures $10M SOW to Build qSpeed-Mine Cryptocurrency Acceleration Platform
VisionWave signed a milestone-driven $10 million statement of work to develop and deploy qSpeed-Mine , targeting production across up to 1,000 nodes within a ~32-week program. Payments are tied to defined acceptance gates, with revenue recognition planned in 2026 if milestones complete as contracted.
Mistral AI acquires Koyeb to accelerate AI cloud, on‑prem inference and GPU optimization
Mistral AI has bought Paris-based Koyeb to fold serverless deployment and isolated runtime tech into its cloud stack, enabling model inference on customer hardware and tighter GPU management. The deal complements Mistral’s broader infrastructure push — including a €1.2 billion Sweden data‑center program with EcoDataCenter and new compact speech‑to‑text models optimized for local hardware — reinforcing a hybrid, Europe‑anchored AI strategy.
QSE expands commercial footprint with 14,000-license renewal and Brazil entry
Quantum Secure Encryption (QSE) confirmed a renewal in India covering roughly 14,000 user licences, a three‑year Brazilian government arrangement for about 4,500 licences and C$2.8 million in fresh financing. These commercial steps coincide with accelerating procurement emphasis on post‑quantum readiness and certified, interoperable solutions — meaning validation will depend on pilot conversion, certification status and partner execution rather than the announcements alone.
Ethereum Foundation Mobilizes for Quantum-Resilient Upgrade, Research Lead Says
The Ethereum Foundation has launched a coordinated engineering program to replace quantum-vulnerable cryptography across execution, consensus and data-availability layers, running biweekly core-dev sessions and live multi-client PQ devnets. Growing concerns that AI will accelerate quantum progress — and the practical risk of adversaries hoarding encrypted data for future decryption — make Ethereum’s proactive, engineering-first migration (estimated ~20% complete) an urgent but complex undertaking that trades higher short-term costs for long-term systemic resilience.
