Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - September 10, 2026) - SuperQ Quantum Computing Inc. (CSE: QBTQ) (OTCQB: QBTQF) (FSE: 25X) ("SuperQ Quantum", "SuperQ", or the "Company"), a leader in hybrid quantum hardware and operating systems, is pleased to announce the active development of its flagship modular hybrid quantum computer, Super Nova. The quantum hardware layer is being developed at the University of Waterloo's Digital Quantum Matter Lab under the supervision of renowned superconducting quantum physics expert Professor Matteo Mariantoni. To accelerate the development and hardware execution capabilities, SuperQ is also expanding its technical team through the recruitment of multiple Quantum Hardware Scientists at the Waterloo lab.
Bridging the Hardware Gap in Quantum Computing
While superconducting quantum processors lead the quantum computing industry, widespread commercial and institutional adoption has remained constrained by high capital costs, the absence of a dedicated quantum operating system, and a lack of seamless interoperability with classical CPUs and GPUs.
SuperQ's Super Nova directly addresses these fundamental bottlenecks by introducing a modular, hybrid hardware architecture. Designed to integrate into enterprise IT environments and high-performance computing infrastructure, Super Nova enables research institutions, data centers, and enterprises to affordably deploy and operate quantum hardware without requiring internal teams of deep quantum physics or computer science PhDs.
World-Class Facilities Access and Talent Expansion at Waterloo
Development of the Super Nova processor is anchored at the Digital Quantum Matter Lab at the University of Waterloo. The development team has access to the University of Waterloo's state-of-the-art clean room and advanced fabrication facilities, enabling rapid prototyping, device iteration, and system integration.
The project is led by Professor Matteo Mariantoni, who oversees SuperQ's Waterloo team. Prof. Mariantoni is an internationally recognized expert in superconducting quantum physics and a close research collaborator of Nobel Prize-winning quantum physicist John Martinis. To support the scaling of Super Nova, SuperQ is expanding its hardware personnel by adding multiple Quantum Hardware Scientists in Waterloo to focus on quantum chip design, device fabrication, cryogenics, and hardware-software orchestration.
"With Super Nova, SuperQ is dismantling the technical and financial barriers that have historically kept quantum hardware out of reach for enterprise data centers and research institutions," said Dr. Muhammad Ali Khan, CEO and Board Chair of SuperQ Quantum. "By uniting Professor Mariantoni's extraordinary technical leadership and Waterloo's elite infrastructure with an expanded team of quantum hardware scientists, we are delivering a modular quantum architecture built for real-world utility and seamless integration with classical computing stacks."
Further details about Super Nova will continue to be shared periodically in future news releases.
About SuperQ Quantum Computing Inc.
SuperQ Quantum Computing Inc. (CSE: QBTQ) (FSE: 25X) (OTCQB: QBTQF) is building the operating system, Super OS, to unify quantum and supercomputing for data center and enterprise deployment. This OS will run on SuperQ's in-development Super Nova hybrid quantum computers and third-party hardware. The Company's already commercialized Super platform enables enterprises, government and research institutions to autonomously solve complex optimization and cybersecurity challenges by combining quantum and high-performance computing. We are also putting quantum computing in the palm of consumers' hands through ChatQLM - the world's first consumer application powered by hybrid quantum and supercomputing.
SuperQ Quantum is headquartered in Canada with a growing international presence, particularly in the US, Middle East and Asia, strategically establishing Super Hubs in key regions. Through the Super platform, Super OS, Super Nova and ChatQLM, we are taking quantum computing utility and quantum security beyond boardroom meetings to production grade solutions.
