SuperQ Quantum, Aegis Critical sign partnership MOU

Dr. Muhammad Khan of SuperQ reports SUPERQ QUANTUM AND AEGIS CRITICAL ENERGY DEFENCE SIGN MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING TO ADVANCE STRATEGIC ENERGY AND DIGITAL INTEGRATION SuperQ Quantum Computing Inc. has signed a formal memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Aegis Critical Energy Defence Corp. The signing of this MOU marks a transition from initial confidential evaluations toward a structured strategic partnership. This agreement establishes a road map 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 (energy management system/plant management system) orchestration layer and SuperQ's hybrid quantum-classical optimization engine, operating within Aegis's zero-trust cyber architecture and incorporating QRNG-based (quantum random number generator) 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 ultrafast 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, chief executive officer and board chair of SuperQ. "This collaboration is about delivering practical utility, turning complex energy challenges into streamlined, mathematically optimized outcomes." Paul Dickson, chief executive officer of Aegis Critical Energy Defence, 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 non-linear dynamics, stochastic demand and tight safety margins. By integrating our multiasset 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. Showcase at the Consumer Electronics Show SuperQ announced it will debut ChatQLM at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, introducing a next-generation approach to conversational AI (artificial intelligence) powered by quantum innovation. Built on SuperQ's quantum leveraged model (QLM) architecture, ChatQLM is designed to help bridge the computational gap by combining natural-language interaction with advanced optimization capabilities -- leveraging quantum annealing, gate-based quantum computing, classical optimization solvers and high-performance supercomputing clusters. This quantum-enabled foundation strengthens Aegis's mandate to develop and deploy quantum-ready controllers and intelligent energy management systems across its portfolio of initiatives, supporting more adaptive decision making, greater operational efficiency and improved system performance in complex real-world environments. To underscore the technical synergy of this partnership, Aegis's director of innovation and technology, Dr. Ramtin Rasouli, will be attending the event alongside the SuperQ team. Dr. Rasouli will participate in technical deep dives regarding the integration of quantum-ready controllers and intelligent energy management systems, showcasing how the SuperQ orchestration layer directly empowers Aegis's portfolio of decentralized energy initiatives. Both the companies also noted that CES 2026 represents the first in a series of planned communications as SuperQ and Aegis continue to evaluate additional applications of quantum-enabled intelligence across adjacent domains. Further updates -- including potential expansions into other energy-related areas -- are expected in future announcements. About Aegis Critical Energy Defence Corp.
