About
Elmos Semiconductor SE is a German semiconductor manufacturer headquartered in Dortmund, founded in 1984, primarily serving the automotive industry. In January 2025, Elmos partnered with ID Quantique to develop the world's smallest monolithically integrated Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG), measuring just 2mm x 2mm. The QRNG uses in-chip photoemission quantum principles to generate high-quality randomness with ultra-low power consumption and a very short start-up time. The partnership brings 40 years of semiconductor manufacturing expertise to quantum security, targeting mass-market applications such as mobile phones and IoT devices, with a strong cost-performance ratio for cybersecurity and encryption. Elmos serves automotive OEMs, tier-1 suppliers, and consumer electronics manufacturers that need quantum-grade random number generation for secure cryptographic key generation and data protection against quantum computing threats.
