Integrating 01 Quantum's IronCAP into SuperQ's SuperPQC - Creating Seamless End-to-End Quantum-Safe Security

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - January 20, 2026) - 01 Quantum Inc., formerly 01 Communique Laboratory Inc. (TSXV: ONE) (OTCQB: OONEF) ("01 Quantum" or the "Company"), one of the first-to-market, enterprise level cybersecurity providers for the quantum computing era, announces a strategic partnership with SuperQ Quantum (CSE: QBTQ) (OTCQB: QBTQF) (FSE: 25X). The collaboration brings together two complementary technologies integrating 01 Quantum's patent protected IronCAP™'s quantum-safe cryptography (PQC) into SuperPQC™, which is SuperQ's PQC offering, creating a seamless bridge between risk identification and active defense.

Closing the Loop: From Awareness to Remediation

The existing SuperPQC™ AI, commercially available through the Super™ platform, is a leader in automated diagnostics, identifying "harvest-now, decrypt-later" vulnerabilities across Web2 and Web3 infrastructures. By incorporating IronCAP™, a NIST approved, high-performance PQC solution the offering evolves from a diagnostic tool into a comprehensive remediation suite.

Enterprises can now move beyond identifying threats; they can implement robust, quantum-safe encryption and digital signing protocols to protect critical systems such as email, file systems, remote access / VPN, password managers, cloud storage, websites and blockchains.

"The looming reality of 'Q-Day' is a systemic threat to global data sovereignty," said Manoj Joseph, Chief Business Officer of SuperQ. "This partnership is our definitive response. We are shifting from analysis to actionable, mission-critical remediation - empowering organizations to achieve quantum-safe standards with unprecedented efficiency through SuperPQC™ and IronCAP™."

Strategic Value: Capturing the Quantum Security and Computing Markets

This partnership transforms SuperPQC™ offering into a full-spectrum execution layer, targeting the multi-billion-dollar quantum cybersecurity market.

• Actionable Intelligence: Enterprises can act directly on audit-identified vulnerabilities within the same ecosystem.

• Platform Stickiness: A unified "Audit + Protect" workflow increases long-term user adoption.

• Standardized Compliance: Provides a turnkey PQC stack for consulting firms and global auditors to ensure client compliance with emerging NIST regulations.

Andrew Cheung, CEO of 01 Quantum, added: "The partnership enables organizations to utilize post-quantum safety through IronCAP™ and hybrid-quantum computing through the Super™ platform in one ecosystem, which is a first. This allows users to safeguard critical data with our vertically integrated PQC solutions without the complexity of managing disparate systems."

"We are compounding value for both companies and our customers," said Dr. Muhammad Ali Khan, CEO and Board Chair of SuperQ. "While augmenting SuperPQC™ with a comprehensive quantum-safe software suite in IronCAP™, the partnership will concurrently grow the adoption of quantum computing utility through the Super™ platform."

Technical Roadmap and AI Integration

Technical teams from both companies will continue collaborating to ensure seamless interoperability between IronCAP™ and SuperQ's multi-agent autonomous AI architecture. This synergy supports the rollout of "one-click" quantum-safe deployment for sensitive enterprise data.
