Calgary, Alberta -- October 1, 2026 -- SuperQ Quantum Computing Inc. a leader in hybrid quantum hardware and operating systems, is pleased to announce that it has received the official evaluation report for its live defence operational exercise at the Bush Combat Development Complex (BCDC) in Texas, initially announced in its previous release (Deploying as Sole Canadian Tech Company in Live U.S. Defence Exercise).

SuperQ's tactical edge optimization platform, Super Edge, passed all evaluation criteria with flying colors, achieving 100% performance targets under real-world operational conditions. As the only quantum company and the only Canadian technology provider featured in this international military exercise, SuperQ demonstrated the commercial readiness and tactical superiority of its hybrid quantum-classical technologies for defence and critical infrastructure applications.

In line with the Company's commitment to transparency and showcasing technological maturity, SuperQ is publicly releasing the complete evaluation report and performance metrics, viewable via the public repository here: SuperQ BCDC Live Operational Exercise Report & Evaluation.

Key Exercise Findings & Defence Impact

The rigorous live operational testing evaluated Super Edge across multi-variable tactical scenarios, including real-time logistics optimization, contested network communications, and rapid edge deployment. Key evaluation highlights include:

• 100% Benchmark Completion: Flawless execution across all primary operational objectives without latency or operational downtime.
• Tactical Resilience: High-performance quantum-classical routing maintained under simulated network degradation and bandwidth-constrained environments.
• Rapid Deployment: One-click integration with legacy military command systems and autonomous field units.
• Dual-Use Commercial Maturity: Validation of SuperQ's core platform capabilities in high-stakes, mission-critical environments.

Canadian Diplomatic and Trade Support

SuperQ's participation in the international defence cohort was supported through the Canadian Trade Commissioner Service and Global Affairs Canada.

"As a Trade Commissioner with the Government of Canada, I was proud to support SuperQ along with 7 other Canadian companies at the Q-Branch Defence and Dual Use accelerator in Austin during Fed Supernova," said Duane Robson, Consul and Senior Trade Commissioner at the Consulate General of Canada in Dallas. "It was fantastic to see SuperQ as the only Canadian company participating in the international cohort of companies testing products at the Bush Combat Development Complex in a real test environment."

Accelerating Dual-Use Utility

The successful field test of Super Edge underscores SuperQ's strategy of commercializing dual-use software infrastructure. The same quantum-leveraged optimization algorithms that streamline tactical military operations are integrated into SuperQ's flagship Super™ platform, Super PQC™ cybersecurity suite and the in-development Super Nova™ quantum computer, empowering enterprise clients in commercial logistics, energy grid management, supply chain resilience, and post-quantum migration.

"Passing every single evaluation criterion in a live U.S. defence exercise at the Bush Combat Development Complex is a watershed moment for SuperQ and the quantum computing industry at large," stated Dr. Muhammad Ali Khan, Founder, CEO, and Board Chair of SuperQ Quantum. "We have proven that SuperQ's quantum-powered optimization is field-tested, resilient, and commercially viable today, positioning the company to capture dual-use demand across defence, critical infrastructure, and enterprise supply chains in North America."

Executive Leadership Transition

The Company also reports that Brian Shin is stepping down from his role as Chief Financial Officer of SuperQ, with Patrick Hone appointed as the Company's new CFO to lead its financial operations forward. This strategic leadership update reflects the natural evolution of SuperQ's corporate lifecycle as the Company aggressively scales up operations, focusing toward rapid global commercial execution and capital markets expansion. As SuperQ accelerates its international footprint and broadens its hybrid-quantum infrastructure deployments, Mr. Hone brings targeted expertise in financial scaling, institutional capital management, and cross-border operational strategy. The Company's Board of Directors extends its appreciation to Mr. Shin for his financial stewardship during SuperQ's foundational stage, which successfully established the strong corporate platform from which the Company now expands.
