French Foreign Direct Investment approval has been received for BTQ Technologies to acquire QPerfect SAS, a French quantum software company, as SDT Inc. showcases its quantum portfolio at Quantum Korea 2026. The commercial debut of QuREKA, taking place July 2-4 at the Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) in Seoul, is supported by MIMIQ, QPerfect’s high-performance quantum emulator. This launch marks a milestone for BTQ, as MIMIQ is expected to become a paid, customer-facing service within QuREKA, representing one of the first commercial applications of the technology. “QuREKA’s commercial launch is the kind of milestone we envisioned when we pursued the acquisition of QPerfect,” said Olivier Roussy Newton, CEO and Chairman of BTQ, adding that MIMIQ is “now performing commercial work” in a key quantum market.
MIMIQ Emulator Powers SDT’s QuREKA Quantum Cloud Platform
The ability to simulate quantum systems with increasing fidelity is rapidly becoming essential for accelerating research and development, and QPerfect’s MIMIQ emulator is now central to SDT’s commercial QuREKA quantum cloud platform. The French quantum software company is expected to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of BTQ following the completion of the previously announced acquisition, demonstrating BTQ’s commitment to expanding its quantum software portfolio. MIMIQ’s deployment within QuREKA marks a step toward practical quantum computing access, allowing users to design and validate circuits at scales exceeding current physical hardware limitations. The platform, showcased at Quantum Korea 2026 held at the Dongdaemun Design Plaza in Seoul from July 2-4, offers researchers and enterprises a cloud-based channel to leverage QPerfect’s technology. SDT operates and commercializes the customer-facing QuREKA platform, while QPerfect maintains the MIMIQ back end, creating a collaborative ecosystem.
For BTQ, this launch transforms a core QPerfect capability into a revenue-generating service and positions QuREKA as an operating layer for accessing and scaling quantum computing resources, regardless of the underlying hardware. SDT’s broader portfolio, including a new 4K cryogenic system exhibited following last year’s CryoRack, and precision control systems, further underscores its commitment to building a full-stack quantum industry presence.
QuREKA’s commercial launch is exactly the kind of marquee milestone we had in mind as we pursued the acquisition of QPerfect.

BTQ’s Acquisition of QPerfect & FDI Approval
This acquisition required approval from French Foreign Direct Investment authorities, demonstrating the international scrutiny surrounding control of key quantum technologies. Central to QuREKA’s functionality is MIMIQ, QPerfect’s high-performance quantum emulator. This technology allows users to design and validate circuits simulating systems of up to thousands of qubits, exceeding the capabilities of current physical quantum hardware. The commercial release transforms MIMIQ from an early-access integration into a paid, customer-facing service, marking one of the first direct revenue streams generated from BTQ’s expanding quantum software portfolio. SDT operates QuREKA in South Korea, providing Korean research institutions and enterprises with direct access to QPerfect’s technology.
According to SDT, this event demonstrates the culmination of manufacturing capabilities, supply chain stabilization, and global partnerships. “By combining in-house manufacturing with a strong network of allied partners, including QPerfect and BTQ, we intend to establish ourselves as a full-stack player in the global quantum industry,” said Jiwon Yune, CEO of SDT. The launch of QuREKA, therefore, represents a step towards operationalizing BTQ’s quantum software investments and establishing a cloud-based channel for accessing advanced quantum computing resources.

SDT’s Full-Stack Quantum Portfolio at Quantum Korea
SDT Inc., a Korean quantum technology company, is showcasing a broadening portfolio extending beyond component manufacturing into a fully integrated quantum cloud platform. BTQ has received FDI approval to acquire QPerfect. The unveiling of QuREKA signifies a key step for BTQ, converting a core QPerfect capability into a live commercial offering. SDT’s strategy centers on pairing quantum software with regional partners; QuREKA provides a direct cloud-based channel for Korean institutions and enterprises to access MIMIQ, enabling circuit design and validation at scales exceeding current hardware limitations, up to thousands of qubits, according to the company. MIMIQ’s transition from early access integration to a fully commercialized service within QuREKA represents one of the first revenue streams for the technology following BTQ’s pending acquisition. Beyond the cloud platform, SDT will exhibit a new 4K cryogenic system, following last year’s CryoRack, the first 10 mK-class cryogenic refrigerator manufactured in Korea.
This new platform is designed to support a range of quantum technologies, including chip-based ion traps, neutral-atom QPUs, and quantum communication systems. SDT also plans to showcase a pulse-tube cryocooler, reflecting a restructured partnership with a leading global supplier, with a formal announcement forthcoming. A next-generation precision control system for fault-tolerant quantum computing, capable of controlling hundreds of qubits simultaneously and designed for future integration with NVIDIA’s NVQLink, will be on display.
MIMIQ is now doing real commercial work inside a full-stack quantum platform in one of the world’s most advanced quantum markets.

4K Cryogenic System & Precision Control System Debut
SDT Inc. is expanding its quantum infrastructure offerings beyond cryogenic refrigerators with the debut of a new 4K cryogenic system, following last year’s CryoRack, and a precision control system at Quantum Korea 2026. SDT reports significant interest in the system prior to the exhibition, suggesting a growing demand for domestically produced quantum hardware. This focus on cryogenic systems reflects the critical role temperature control plays in maintaining qubit coherence and enabling scalable quantum computation. Beyond cooling, SDT is addressing the challenge of qubit control with a next-generation precision control system. According to SDT, the system will also support laser-frequency and optical-path feedback control for neutral-atom quantum computers operating with over 1,000 atoms. “This event brings together, in one place, the manufacturing capability we have built, the supply chain we have stabilized, and the global partnerships we have cultivated,” said Jiwon Yune, CEO of SDT. These developments underscore a broader trend towards vertically integrated quantum companies capable of designing, manufacturing, and operating complete quantum computing systems.
