1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

June 26, 2026, Q/C Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) provided notice of its intention to terminate that certain Technology

License and Development Agreement, dated as of September 2, 2025 (the “License Agreement”), by and among LightSolver Ltd.

(“LightSolver”), LPU Holdings LLC (“LPU”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and, solely with respect

to Sections 7.3, 7.7 and 12.12 of the License Agreement, the Company, effective as of June 26, 2026 (the “Termination Date”).

Pursuant to the License Agreement, LightSolver granted LPU, amongst other things, an exclusive license to use and commercialize its proprietary

laser processing hardware units (LPUs) specifically configured for cryptocurrency mining applications (the “Machines”) and

its proprietary intangible technology necessary or useful to utilize the Machines solely for cryptocurrency mining applications. On the

Termination Date, the License Agreement terminated in accordance with its terms (the “Termination”).

accordance with the License Agreement, LPU is automatically and immediately

relieved from its obligation to make any additional milestone payments to LightSolver, and LightSolver has no right to receive any further

contingent consideration thereunder.

Item

8.01 Other Events.

On March 18, 2026, the Company announced

the launch of its optical processing unit (OPU) initiative (the “Initiative”) to develop a proprietary silicon photonic computing

architecture for artificial intelligence (AI) inference. The Initiative is focused on developing next-generation optical computing technologies

designed to address the performance, bandwidth, and energy limitations of traditional electronic computing architectures. In connection

with the Termination, the Company has determined to fully focus its efforts on the Initiative.

Optical computing has the potential

to address several of the challenges associated with conventional GPU-based computing. Artificial intelligence workloads are dominated

by matrix multiplication operations, where photonic architectures may enable highly parallel computation through the physical properties

of light. In addition to significantly reducing energy consumption, optical computing offers the potential for substantially higher bandwidth

and faster signal propagation than traditional electronic systems. The Company is focused on addressing several longstanding challenges

associated with optical computing, including analog precision, nonlinear computation, and memory integration, through internally developed

intellectual property and strategic collaborations.

On March 18, 2026, the Company also

announced that it has assembled an accomplished team of experts in artificial intelligence, photonics, and advanced computing to support

the Initiative, including Director Chelsea Voss and Strategic Advisors Martin Shkreli and James Altucher. The Company believes this combination

of technical and strategic expertise positions the Company to pursue a differentiated approach to optical AI computing. The Company further

stated that it intends to develop proprietary optical chip architectures designed to address key bottlenecks in bandwidth, energy efficiency,

and scalability for AI inference applications, while building a portfolio of foundational intellectual property through patent filings.

On June 30, 2026, the Company announced

the relocation of its headquarters to San Francisco, California, where it is establishing a 4,800-square-foot integrated photonics laboratory

to accelerate research and development of its proprietary optical processing unit. The relocation also positions the Company in close

proximity to leading engineering talent and technology companies specializing in photonics, artificial intelligence, and advanced computing.

In connection with the Initiative, the Company also announced the hiring of specialized engineers with experience at companies including

IPG Photonics, Neurophos, and IonQ.
