The announcement by BTQ Technologies Corp. that its strategic partner, QPerfect SA, has formally partnered with South Korea’s SDT Inc. to introduce a new, high-performance quantum emulation service is a significant step for the worldwide quantum computing industry. Through this partnership, SDT’s QUREKA hybrid platform and QPerfect’s MIMIQ virtual quantum computer are integrated, offering researchers and businesses a cutting-edge cloud-based environment in which to create the quantum algorithms of the future.
Operating since February 1, 2026, the service seeks to address the constraints of existing physical quantum gear, one of the most urgent bottlenecks facing the industry. The collaboration enables users to investigate intricate quantum use cases that are currently outside the scope of current “noisy” quantum processors by utilizing sophisticated simulation techniques.
Breaking the Qubit Barrier with MIMIQ
MIMIQ, a high-performance virtual quantum computer created by QPerfect, is the central component of this innovative product. In contrast to conventional physical hardware, which is frequently constrained by gate faults and decoherence, MIMIQ makes use of sophisticated simulation techniques, such as state-vector and Matrix Product State (MPS) approaches. Claim that this enables the system to simulate quantum circuits with millions of gates and thousands of qubits.
The initial layer of QPerfect’s Quantum Logical Unit (QLU), a multi-layered structure intended to hasten the global shift toward fault-tolerant quantum computing architectures, is this capacity. Before algorithms are eventually implemented on next-generation physical hardware, the service allows customers to design, test, and validate them in a production-grade, cloud-hosted environment.

Strategic Integration and the QUREKA Platform
When MIMIQ is integrated with QUREKA, a strong hybrid environment is produced. The purpose of SDT’s QUREKA platform is to combine classical and quantum resources, such as CPUs, GPUs, and QPUs, in a safe, cloud-based environment. The deal states that QPerfect will maintain the MIMIQ back-end in a secure European cloud environment, while SDT will oversee the customer-facing portions of the service.
SDT’s participation gives the project a lot of industrial weight. One of the biggest corporations in South Korea, the GS Group, is a partner of SDT, which also collaborates with LG Electronics and prestigious universities including KAIST and Seoul National University. In addition, Jiwon Yune, the founder and CEO of SDT, has extensive technical experience and has worked with pioneers in the quantum business, such as the founders of QuEra, at MIT and Harvard.
A Market on the Cusp of Hypergrowth
The introduction of the MIMIQ-powered service coincides with the quantum software and simulation industry’s explosive growth. According to data from the global market for quantum simulation platforms is expected to increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.7%, from its 2025 valuation of USD 885 million to USD 3.8 billion by 2035. With a 38.6% market share, software is currently the most dominant segment.
APAC accounted for over a quarter of worldwide quantum computing sales in 2024, providing robust regional growth. The South Korean quantum simulation market is anticipated to rise 28.1% from USD 100 million in 2024 to USD 800 million in 2033. This reaffirms how strategically significant SDT’s contribution to providing these services to the APAC region is.

BTQ’s Expansion and Acquisition Strategy
This collaboration is a crucial aspect of BTQ Technologies’ larger plan to safeguard vital networks and construct the fundamental quantum infrastructure. Subject to clearance of French foreign direct investment (FDI) and other closing requirements, BTQ, which now owns 16.67% of QPerfect, has stated its intention to purchase full ownership of the French firm.
According to BTQ CEO Olivier Roussy Newton, the deal supports the company’s plan to advance quantum computing from experimentation to practical use. BTQ wants to increase access to scalable development workflows while staying in line with the long-term goal of fault-tolerant systems by integrating emulation into already-existing platforms such as QUREKA.
Executive Outlook
Strong faith in the partnership’s ability to spur innovation has been voiced by the executives of the participating companies. The collaboration shows how scalable emulation may “accelerate global quantum R&D” by enabling businesses to develop algorithms now for tomorrow’s systems, according to Philippe Blot, CEO of QPerfect.
Likewise, Jiwon Yune from SDT emphasized that the incorporation of MIMIQ greatly increases the computing capacity accessible to QUREKA users, enhancing the platform’s capacity to facilitate extensive hybrid quantum development for both scholarly and commercial uses.
The capacity to model large-scale circuits without the physical limitations of existing technology could prove to be a key differentiator for businesses hoping to dominate the next computing frontier as the quantum race heats up. For the time being, the MIMIQ-powered service on QUREKA provides a preview of a future in which the hardware that will eventually power quantum-ready software workflows is being built simultaneously.
