Quantum eMotion Corp. (QeM), a Canadian pioneer in quantum-based cybersecurity, and Jmem Technology Co., Ltd. (Jmem Tek), a Taiwanese IC design company specializing in hardware security solutions that integrate Physical Unclonable Function (PUF) with post-quantum cryptography (PQC), announced a strategic alliance to co-develop a quantum-resilient System-on-Chip (SoC).
This unique platform will integrate three essential layers of protection into a single SoC:
• QeM’s patented Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG) an ultrafast, diode-based entropy source delivering true randomness [1][2].
• Jmem Tek’s proprietary Physical Unclonable Function (PUF) an exclusive, silicon-anchored fingerprint that creates an unclonable hardware root of trust with invisible keys, delivering a level of security unmatched in the industry [3].
• NIST-aligned Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Module ensuring long-term resilience against quantum-computer-enabled attacks [4].
A Global First in Embedded Cybersecurity
“This collaboration with Jmem Tek represents a strategic step in the evolution of secure hardware,” said Dr. Francis Bellido, CEO of Quantum eMotion. “By integrating quantum entropy, hardware-based identity, and post-quantum encryption into a single compact chip, we are advancing a solution that addresses security requirements not yet met by existing technologies. This positions QeM to participate in the growing demand for quantum-safe protection, as billions of connected devices and critical systems are expected to transition to stronger security standards over the coming years. Together with JMEM Tek, we are working to deliver a platform that combines technical differentiation with long-term commercial potential for our partners, investors, and customers.”
He added: “Unlike photonic approaches, an electron-based QRNG can be miniaturized for chip-level integration a capability protected by QeM’s patents which provides a practical and scalable path to embedding true quantum entropy at the semiconductor level.”
John Chang, CEO of JMEM Tek, commented “From day one, our mission has been to anchor trust directly in silicon. By combining JMEM Tek’s proven PUF-based Root-of-Trust with QeM’s quantum entropy and NIST-aligned PQC, we are setting a new benchmark for hardware security. This strategic collaboration is not only quantum-resilient, but also practical, scalable, and ready to protect the world’s most critical systems everywhere against tomorrow’s threats today.”

Competitive Edge Over Current Solutions
Software-based security relies on pseudo-randomness, leaving it vulnerable to sophisticated attacks.
Photonic QRNGs, while quantum in principle, remain costly, power-hungry, and unsuitable for broad chip-level deployment.
Conventional secure chips lack quantum entropy, leaving them exposed to Q-Day risks.
CMOS-compatible quantum entropy for seamless integration into mobile, IoT, and server devices.
Intrinsic hardware identity secured at the silicon level and establishing a Root-of-Trust platform optimized for PQC.
Native PQC support aligned with NIST/FIPS standards.
End-to-end protection in a single platform, from key generation through execution.
Strategic Impact
The QeM–Jmem Tek device directly addresses the urgent need for hardware-anchored, quantum-safe security across critical sectors including blockchain, fintech, digital health, IoT, defense, and national infrastructure.
As quantum computing advances toward Q-Day, this device provides governments, enterprises, and manufacturers with a future-proof, standards-aligned security core built on quantum physics, not mathematical approximations.
