QPerfect

QPerfect is a French quantum software company founded in April 2023 as a spin-out of the European Center for Quantum Sciences (CESQ) at the University of Strasbourg, in collaboration with the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS). The company describes itself as "born in quantum science, built for industry," and its mission is to accelerate fault-tolerant quantum computing for transformative applications. It is currently hosted at CESQ in Strasbourg. QPerfect develops software that bridges the gap between state-of-the-art quantum emulators — which the company says remain one to two generations ahead of real quantum computers — and the hardware itself. Its flagship product, MIMIQ™, provides statevector and tensor-network quantum emulation with managed cloud compute resources, allowing users to prepare for quantum computing, identify the best hardware platforms, benchmark real quantum computers, and invent and test new quantum algorithms. The company positions MIMIQ™ as setting the standard in tensor-network quantum emulation. A second core offering, the Quantum Logic Unit (QLU™), brings fault tolerance to neutral-atom hardware. QLU™ compiles high-level algorithms to efficient execution on neutral-atom quantum processors, incorporates industry-best gates and quantum error correction (QEC) protocols for neutral atoms, and applies application- and hardware-specific error correction with minimal overheads. QPerfect claims QLU™ cuts quantum resource requirements by orders of magnitude compared to general methods, bridging quantum advantage regime applications to early fault-tolerant quantum computers. The company was founded by three academic co-founders — Johannes Schachenmayer, Shannon Whitlock, and Guido Pupillo — who bring decades of combined experience in quantum computing, numerical simulation, and neutral atom physics. The leadership team includes Philippe Blot as CEO and Guido Masella as CTO. QPerfect emerged from a pre-maturation program supported by SATT Conectus, the University of Strasbourg, and CNRS, and was incubated by SEMIA, the Strasbourg startup incubator for deep-tech ventures. QPerfect is also connected to the aQCess project, led by co-founders Shannon Whitlock and Guido Pupillo, which is building France's first public neutral-atom quantum computing platform. The company has partnered with BTQ on quantum-secure communications. Its vision is application-specific quantum computing powered by cutting-edge simulation and fault-tolerant compilation, aiming for "quantum advantage for the real world."

It is currently hosted at CESQ in Strasbourg. The founding team combined academic and business expertise. Three academic co-founders — Johannes Schachenmayer, Shannon Whitlock, and Guido Pupillo — brought decades of combined experience in quantum computing, numerical simulation, and neutral atom physics from world-leading laboratories. The leadership team includes Philippe Blot as CEO, contributing extensive business development experience to translate deep-tech research into commercial impact, and Guido Masella as CTO, bringing deep expertise in neutral atom physics and high-performance software for simulating quantum systems. QPerfect's core insight is that state-of-the-art quantum emulators remain one to two generations ahead of real quantum computers. The company builds software to bridge that gap, turning quantum promise into quantum performance.
