Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - March 20, 2026) - SuperQ Quantum Computing Inc. (CSE: QBTQ) (OTCQB: QBTQF) (FSE: 25X) ("SuperQ Quantum", "SuperQ", or the "Company") is pleased to announce the acceleration of its agricultural research vertical through key Canadian and global engagements aimed at enhancing international food resilience. This includes an engagement with the federal researchers from Agriculture and Agri-food Canada (AAFC) at the world's first Quantum Super Hub and collaboration with the Alliance Biodiversity International and CIAT.
Accelerating Federal Research: Masterclass for Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada
SuperQ hosted a specialized masterclass, "Exploring Quantum in Agriculture Research", on March 19th, 2026, from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM at the Quantum Super Hub in Lethbridge, Alberta. This engagement, led by Eyren Uggenti, Head of Professional Services, was an event designed to provide federal researchers with a technical bridge between domain specific constraints and hybrid quantum-supercomputing utility.
"This masterclass establishes a high-performance research environment where AAFC scientists can experience the Super platform's orchestration layer to transcend traditional computational boundaries," stated Krishna Ganesh, COO of SuperQ. "Our mission is to empower the agricultural sector with the hybrid capabilities required to solve the most complex, high-dimensional problems in global food science today."
The session hosted scientists from the Lethbridge Research & Development Centre of AAFC, with national colleagues joining via a secure digital link. The program focused on the practical evaluation of the Super platform to modernize federal science projects and streamline the integration of hybrid quantum solutions into existing departmental research workflows.
Strategic Collaboration with the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT
Following the signed MOU and successful technical workshops, researchers at the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT are now leveraging SuperQ's proprietary technology to turn complex challenges into executive-ready results with one-click deployment for agricultural research and plant breeding. By utilizing quantum-enhanced pipelines to accelerate resistance breeding for critical crops like rice blast, the partnership aims to significantly shorten development cycles for disease-resistant varieties. This work is essential for securing global food supplies and directly supports the CGIAR Genetic Innovation Initiative.
Advancing Research: Realizing Quantum Utility
The era of "Quantum Utility" has intensified global research needs for massive computational power to solve complex challenges. Acknowledging that standalone quantum hardware remains constrained by error rates and scalability, leading institutions are utilizing the Super platform's hybrid quantum-classical orchestration to mitigate these hardware limitations and provide immediate quantum readiness.
This active exploration of complex computational problems is anchored by a strategic partnership with the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics ITWM ("Fraunhofer ITWM"), a member of the Fraunhofer Gesellschaft Europe's largest applied research organization focusing on advanced hybrid optimization. This global traction is further strengthened by a five-year MOU with the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT to advance specialized agriculture research and address global food security, alongside technical evaluations by federal scientists at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) aimed at modernizing domestic agriculture research and science.
