QEM Corp. News

Quantum eMotion Corp., a premier quantum-based cybersecurity company, has agreed to purchase 100% of the issued and existing shares of California-based SKV Technology Inc. This strategic move gave QeM control of Jet Lab Technologies Inc.'s core technology assets, notably the secure SecureKey platform.

This acquisition advances QeM's full-stack, quantum-resilient security architecture ambition. The company wants to merge the recently acquired SecureKey technology with its Sentry-Q orchestration layer, powered by Quantum Random Number Generators, to protect the cloud, network, endpoints, and chips.

One Vision: Entropy to Enforcement

The transaction relies on two complimentary technologies' synergy. QeM's Sentry-Q platform manages safe P2P encrypted connections and creates quantum-grade entropy and master keys. It sets security standards like key rotation, authentication, and PQC cipher suites.

However, the acquired SecureKey platform enforces. SecureKey, a hardware-anchored software platform, implements Sentry-Q's secure channels on devices. Integrating hardware boundaries with strong software controls inhibits cryptographic key theft. A two-pronged approach ensures strict trust enforcement at the execution border and cloud layer.

Revolutionizing Breach Prevention with Zero-Exposure Keys The acquisition's most innovative feature is Zero-Exposure Keys, a patent-pending “memory-less” cryptographic architecture. This method addresses the main cause of modern cybersecurity breaches, memory-based key and credential theft.

Zero-Exposure Keys eliminate persistent key storage and enable government-level protection in pure software for cloud and edge environments without proprietary hardware modules. NIST-validated encryption standards make these elements FIPS-certified and widely used by the government.

Strategic growth and market implications

The cybersecurity industry is facing unprecedented demand, which prompted this purchase. The global cloud security and critical infrastructure market is valued over $150 billion, according to Gartner. Mandatory modernization plans, the rapid adoption of hybrid-cloud models, and a regulatory focus on quantum readiness in the face of sophisticated, persistent nation-state threats are driving this surge.

Quantum eMotion can capture a large share of this industry with revenue-ready cryptographic enforcement software. The company will target high-value sectors like:

Financial Services and Healthcare: Protecting patient and customer data.

AI Data Centers and Energy Systems: safeguarding modern industrial infrastructure.

Supplying secure communication stacks and “Krown Technologies” for defense and secret government systems.

Blockchain and IoT: Safe device keying for cars and gadgets.

Integration and Executive Leadership

In the acquisition, SecureKey's lead technologist and SKV and Jet Lab founder Jason Thomas will join Quantum eMotion as an executive developer. Thomas' understanding of secure networking stacks and applied cryptography is vast. New role: support SecureKey's commercialization and strategic product integration as part of QeM's technological roadmap.

This integration “dramatically reduces key exposure risks while accelerating post-quantum migration,” stated Quantum eMotion CEO Dr. Francis Bellido. Thomas concurred, saying the partnership creates a “uniquely powerful architecture” with execution-bound enforcement and quantum-grade entropy.

Financial and Regulatory Information

The QeM will buy all SKV stock. Milestone-based earn-out payments of up to C$7,000,000 may be made in cash, common stock, or both. The Sentry-Q and SecureKey architecture technical and integration objectives must be met for these payments.

QeM has also agreed to pay $15,000,000 in royalties over five years if SecureKey technology products sell well.

The deal is a “expedited acquisition” under TSXV rules. The closing date is tentatively March 2026, pending TSXV clearance and usual closing formalities. Canadian shares issued as part of the purchase will have a four-month statutory hold period.

Looking Ahead

Due to its deployable encryption library and VPN/firewall implementations, Quantum eMotion can scale its operations immediately. The unexpected nature of quantum mechanics and stringent software enforcement will help the company defend against quantum-era cryptography issues.

Quantum Random Number Generator chip

Quantum eMotion Corp.'s first-generation QRNG chip design was completed and validated, advancing quantum-secure hardware development. The well-known international semiconductor foundry Taiwan Semiconductor manufacture Company (TSMC) has received this 65-nm CMOS design for manufacture. The production process began with this submission.

This innovative QRNG processor uses quantum electron tunnelling instead of photons. Because an electron's ability to overcome a potential energy barrier even without enough classical energy is random, quantum electron tunnelling exploits this. This complex microsystem design has passed all simulations and laboratory tests, proving its durability.

Performance depends on the chip's ability to generate true quantum random numbers at over 1 Gbit/sec. They are completely random bits created at high speeds in a tiny chip device. High-assurance security systems require actual quantum random numbers, which are generated by unpredictable quantum events rather than deterministic or pseudo-random procedures that are prone to algorithmic attacks.

The chip's design includes crucial aspects. A high-precision analog-to-digital converter and ultra-low-noise wideband amplifier are included. The Université de Sherbrooke Institut Quantique and ÉTS Montréal academic teams designed, prototyped, and validated these components. These organisations tested the circuits to ensure quantum randomness, a vital need for cybersecurity applications. The device also contains self-diagnostic functions for reliability.

Standard 65-nm TSMC CMOS process should enable scalability and rapid commercial implementation. Unlike quantum fabrication, CMOS can use current semiconductor manufacturing equipment, reducing costs and increasing productivity. Since its architecture is designed for printed circuit boards with few external components, the chip can be directly incorporated into many commercial systems. Defence systems, cloud infrastructure, and  Internet of Things devices are among the potential uses.

Quantum eMotion claims four global patents cover QRNG chip technology. This patent protects its quantum electron tunnelling design.

This aligns with the rapid rise of QRNG technology. Verified Market Reports estimated the QRNG chip market at $150 million in 2024. This industry could reach $2 billion by 2033. From 2026 to 2033, this prediction predicts 34.5% CAGR. Safe and scalable quantum technology is needed to fight rising digital risks in a connected society.

Quantum eMotion offers affordable security software and hardware that uses quantum physics' unpredictability to meet this demand. The company wants to serve financial services, healthcare, cloud-based IT security infrastructure, blockchain applications, classified government systems, secure device keying for various devices, and quantum cryptography.

The accomplishment thrilled Quantum eMotion CEO Francis Bellido. "Quantum eMotion is fulfilling its vision to contribute to the next generation of quantum-secure hardware with this final chip design entering fabrication," Bellido said. He stressed the chip's patent protection and significance as the first fully integrated quantum tunnelling CMOS device. He said quantum electron tunnelling on CMOS chips improves performance, scalability, and integration. This is a “decisive step towards enhancing digital security in the face of emerging quantum threats,” says Mr. Bellido.

ÉTS professor Ghyslain Gagnon emphasised teamwork and validation. Professor Gagnon added, “It are proud to have contributed to the development and validation of this QRNG chip.” He said the findings prove that real quantum randomness can be consistently retrieved from this design, making it a practical solution for high-assurance security systems.

TSMC has begun manufacturing but has no deadline. Switching to manufacturing with a top foundry using a standard technique is a big step towards commercialisation. Quantum eMotion may benefit from the worldwide QRNG chip market expansion due to rising need for powerful quantum-based security solutions.
