BTQ Technologies Corp. Partners with the Australian Quantum Software Network to Advance Quantum Computing and Security

VANCOUVER, BC, April 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - BTQ Technologies Inc. (the "Company" or "BTQ") (Cboe CA: BTQ) (FSE: NG3) (OTCQX: BTQQF), a global quantum technology company focused on securing mission critical networks, is pleased to announce its partnership with the newly incorporated Australian Quantum Software Network (AQSN), a not-for-profit organization dedicated to pioneering advancements in quantum software development in Australia.

As a partner organization, BTQ Technologies is collaborating with AQSN to develop open-source quantum computing software, including quantum compilers and resource estimators. These tools are essential for the advancement of quantum applications, particularly in the areas of quantum error correction, overlapping with BTQ's existing project QByte, and algorithms for quantum enhanced communications.

Dr. Gavin Brennen, BTQ's Quantum Information Advisor, has been appointed as co-director of the AQSN, alongside Associate Professor Simon Devitt from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) and Professor Jingbo Wang from the University of Western Australia (UWA). This leadership trio is set to guide the AQSN towards becoming a pivotal entity in the global quantum landscape.

The Australian Quantum Software Network (AQSN) links together researchers from universities, government, start-ups and corporations who are all at the forefront of research into quantum software and information.  AQSN represents one of the largest collections of experts and technology pioneers in the world pushing forward the fundamental theory and software tools that will underpin the quantum economy of the 21st century.
