Quantum eMotion and JMEM Expand Quantum Security Chip Partnership

Insider Brief Quantum eMotion and JMEM TEK signed a consortium agreement to jointly develop a quantum-resilient semiconductor security platform. The collaboration combines Quantum eMotion’s quantum entropy technology with JMEM’s secure semiconductor and post-quantum cryptography capabilities. The project includes development of a Universal Security system-on-chip platform, PCIe hardware, cryptographic APIs, and compliance-focused security infrastructure through 2027. PRESS RELEASE — Quantum eMotion Corp. (“QeM” or the “Company”) (NYSE: QNC; TSXV: QNC-V; FSE: 34Q0) and JMEM TEK (“JMEM”) are pleased to announce the signing of an international project consortium agreement and Dr. Francis Bellido’s visit to JMEM’s facilities in Taiwan, marking an important new step in the companies’ strategic collaboration. The agreement builds on the memorandum of understanding entered into in September 2025 and advances the parties’ collaborative R&D initiative under the Canada–Taiwan 2024–25 Collaborative R&D Program (CIIP). JMEM TEK, a Taiwan-based secure semiconductor innovator specializing in Physical Unclonable Function (PUF), Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), and hardware root-of-trust architectures, will contribute its advanced secure chip design capabilities to the collaboration. Dr. Bellido recently visited JMEM to meet with the company’s leadership and technical teams, review project progress, align on next steps, and further strengthen the relationship between the two organizations. The visit was also focused on accelerating the completion of the Universal Security system-on-chip (“SoC”), reinforcing the parties’ shared determination to move efficiently from framework agreement to execution and development milestones. The signed consortium agreement formalizes the framework for developing a quantum-resilient Universal Security SoC platform that integrates QeM’s diode-based quantum entropy source with JMEM’s secure chip capabilities. The project is intended to support secure boot, root-of-trust functions, hardware-level security architecture, and future quantum-resilient deployments. The agreement also provides a structured implementation plan that includes an SoC prototype, PCIe boards and server appliances for CaaS/EaaS applications, cryptographic SDKs and APIs, and supporting compliance documentation aligned with frameworks such as FIPS 140-3 and FedRAMP. “This announcement reflects more than the signing of an agreement; it reflects the strengthening of a strategic relationship and a shared commitment to execution,” said Dr. Francis Bellido, CEO of Quantum eMotion. “My visit to JMEM confirmed the quality of our alignment, the strength of our collaboration, and our common objective to accelerate completion of the Universal Security SoC. Together, we are building the foundation for a new class of quantum-resilient semiconductor security solutions.” “We are very pleased to formalize this collaboration through the signing of the consortium agreement and to welcome Dr. Bellido to Taiwan,” said John Chang, CEO of JMEM Technology. “This collaboration represents an important milestone in advancing commercially deployable quantum-resilient semiconductor security solutions for critical infrastructure, AI data centers, defence, and next-generation connected systems.” The consortium agreement establishes the governance, project execution and commercialization framework for the collaboration, including steering committee oversight, technical working groups, reporting obligations and budget coordination. The project term extends through June 30, 2027. The agreement also provides that commercial revenues derived from the SoC are to be shared between QeM and JMEM in proportion to their respective contributions, subject to a mutually agreed-upon valuation model before market deployment. The agreement further sets out the parties’ intellectual property and confidentiality framework. Background intellectual property remains the property of each contributing party, while jointly developed foreground intellectual property will be jointly owned. Any post-project commercialization, licensing or sublicensing of jointly developed technology will require prior written agreement between QeM and JMEM. By combining QeM’s expertise in quantum entropy with JMEM’s capabilities in secure semiconductor design, the parties aim to accelerate the development of trusted hardware security solutions for critical digital infrastructure and other high-assurance applications.
