Calgary, Alberta, January 5, 2026 - SuperQ Quantum Computing Inc. ("SuperQ Quantum", "SuperQ", or the "Company"), a leader in hybrid quantum-classical orchestration and advanced optimization platforms, is pleased to announce it has signed a formal Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Aegis Critical Energy Defence Corp. ("Aegis"), a leading developer and integrator of advanced energy storage systems for defence, critical infrastructure, industrial, and AI data centre applications.

The signing of this MOU marks a transition from initial confidential evaluations toward a structured strategic partnership. This agreement establishes a roadmap for the two organizations to integrate SuperQ's proprietary quantum optimization technologies with Aegis's high-performance energy infrastructure, creating a next-generation framework for efficient and resilient energy management.

Quantum Optimization of Critical Energy Infrastructure

Under the terms of the MOU, Aegis and SuperQ will focus on the initial due diligence to development and deployment of:

Leveraging SuperQ's Super platform and ChatQLM to enhance energy distribution and safety.

Creating secure, policy-governed data interfaces between Aegis's sovereign EMS/PMS orchestration layer and SuperQ's hybrid quantum-classical optimization engine, operating within Aegis's zero-trust cyber architecture and incorporating QRNG-based security layers, enabling quantum optimization services to act on abstracted system state without exposing critical control or cybersecurity domains.

Critical Infrastructure and Public Sector Utilities: Developing high-efficiency energy solutions tailored for remote communities, government utilities, and large-scale industrial projects.

Utilizing predictive and ultra-fast quantum modelling to maximize the operational lifespan, safety, and reliability of multiple decentralized energy systems.

"With the formal signing of this MOU, we are moving into the active phase of integrating Super™️and ChatQLM's optimization of energy distribution and safety with Aegis's robust energy platforms," stated Dr. Muhammad Khan, CEO and Board Chair of SuperQ. "This collaboration is about delivering practical utility, turning complex energy challenges into streamlined, mathematically optimized outcomes."

Paul Dickson, CEO of Aegis Critical Energy Defence Corp., added: "Formalizing our collaboration with SuperQ represents an important evolution in how we approach complex energy system design and operation. Modern energy infrastructure is increasingly constrained by nonlinear dynamics, stochastic demand, and tight safety margins. By integrating our multi-asset energy hardware and sovereign control platforms with SuperQ's hybrid quantum-classical optimization capabilities, we are laying the groundwork for a new class of energy management systems—ones that can model, optimize, and adapt in near real time. This partnership is focused on measurable improvements in efficiency, reliability, and system resilience across decentralized and mission-critical energy environments."

The MOU serves as a framework for the parties to negotiate definitive agreements regarding specific commercial projects. Both companies will continue to work toward the successful integration of their respective technologies.
