Sept. 11, 2026, Calgary — SuperQ Quantum Computing Inc., a provider of hybrid quantum hardware and operating systems, has announced the active development of its modular hybrid quantum computer, Super Nova. The quantum hardware layer is being developed at the University of Waterloo’s Digital Quantum Matter Lab under the supervision of superconducting quantum physics expert Matteo Mariantoni. Mariantoni is an internationally recognized expert in superconducting quantum physics and a close research collaborator of Nobel Prize-winning quantum physicist John Martinis. To accelerate the development and hardware execution capabilities, SuperQ is also expanding its technical team through the recruitment of multiple quantum hardware scientists at the Waterloo lab. The Super Nova aims to address bottlenecks including high capital costs, the absence of a dedicated quantum operating system and a lack of seamless interoperability with classical CPUs and GPUs. Designed to integrate into enterprise IT environments and high-performance computing infrastructure, the computer enables research institutions, data centres and enterprises to affordably deploy and operate quantum hardware without requiring internal teams of deep quantum physics or computer science PhDs. Development of the Super Nova processor is anchored at the Digital Quantum Matter Lab at the University of Waterloo. The development team has access to the university clean room and fabrication facilities, enabling prototyping, device iteration and system integration.
