Canadian small-cap dazzles after deal with TSMC
Quebec-based Quantum eMotion (TSXV:QNC) has validated the chip design for its first-generation Quantum Random Number Generator, initiating manufacturing with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) (OTCPK:TSMWF), the world's leading semiconductor foundry
Quantum eMotion specializes in classical and quantum cybersecurity solutions
The high-flying Canadian small-cap stock has added 1,035.71 per cent year-over-year
Quebec-based Quantum eMotion (TSXV:QNC) has validated the chip design for its first-generation Quantum Random Number Generator, initiating manufacturing with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) (OTCPK:TSMWF), the world's leading semiconductor foundry.
Academic teams at ÉTS Montréal and the Institut Quantique at Université de Sherbrooke showed that the company's product – an advanced microsystem based on the quantum electron tunneling effect – can produce purely random bits 'at exceptional speeds,' according to Monday's news release. It achieves this milestone while preserving 'the integrity of quantum randomness, a fundamental requirement for cybersecurity applications,' at a design capacity of more than 1 Gbit/sec.
The number generator, intended to fit on printed circuit boards with minimal external components, will now be optimally positioned to scale and capitalize on demand in a growing market expected to soar from US$150 million in 2024 to US$2 billion in 2033, representing a staggering compound annual growth rate of 34.5 per cent. Leadership insights
'With this final chip design now entering fabrication, Quantum eMotion is delivering on its vision to contribute to the next generation of quantum-secure hardware,' Francis Bellido, Quantum eMotion's chief executive officer, said in a statement. 'This QRNG chip, the first one based on the quantum tunneling effect and protected by four international patents, offers high performance in a fully integrated CMOS format. By embedding quantum electron tunneling into a standard CMOS chip, we are setting a new benchmark in performance, scalability and integration. This is a decisive step towards enhancing digital security in the face of emerging quantum threats.'
'We are proud to have contributed to the development and validation of this QRNG chip,' added Ghyslain Gagnon, professor at ÉTS Montréal. 'Our results confirm that true quantum randomness can be reliably extracted from this architecture, making it a practical solution for high-assurance security systems.' About Quantum eMotion
Quantum eMotion specializes in classical and quantum cybersecurity solutions. The company's offerings are based on its patented Quantum Random Number Generator, which exploits the unpredictability of quantum mechanics to protect high-value assets and critical systems.
Quantum eMotion stock (TSXV:QNC) ended the Monday trading session up by 80.68 per cent trading at C$1.59. Shares have added 1,035.71 per cent year-over-year.

'There's no barriers for Mother Nature': Wildfires continue to burn out of control near oilsands plants
Cooler temperatures have slowed Alberta's wildfires to the point where hundreds of oilpatch workers are beginning to return to oilsands plants, drilling rigs and remote camps that were evacuated last weekend as a large blaze temporarily forced a halt to 345,000 barrels of daily crude production. Article content However, the 62,040-hectare Caribou Lake fire burning at the southern border of the giant Athabasca oilsands deposit — which threatens about eight per cent of Alberta's daily oil output — continues to burn out of control, according to the province. Article content Article content Article content Precautionary evacuations have become the norm in an industry that has grown used to dealing with wildfires since Canadian production seems to be threatened 'on an almost clocklike annual basis,' Martin King, managing director of RBN Energy LLC, said in a recent note. Article content Article content Fire-proofing measures, such as clearing a wide swathe of the dense boreal forest surrounding drilling rigs and transmission lines and transferring fuels to sealed tanks to protect combustibles from falling ash, protect infrastructure while workers retreat to safety. Article content That's a far cry from the slapdash tactics recalled by veteran rig workers who 50 years ago might have downed tools to fight fires themselves. Article content 'I do remember, decades ago, when we'd only evacuate the rig when you actually saw flames somewhere close by,' Kevin Neveu, chief executive of Precision Drilling Corp., said. 'These days, we're evacuating when the fires are 10 or 20 kilometres away, when the risk is likely days away, not hours or minutes away.' Article content Article content Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. on Tuesday confirmed it had commenced start-up activities at its Jackfish 1 thermal plant after electing to shut-in approximately 36,500 bbl/d of production on May 31 in response to nearby forest fires. Article content Article content Production remains shut-in at Cenovus Energy Inc. 's massive Christina Lake asset, a suspension that encompasses about 238,000 bbl/d of output and began on May 29. The company said it wasn't aware of any damage to its infrastructure and that a full restart of operations was expected in the near term. Article content The wildfires have also disrupted power to the region, delaying the start-up of MEG Energy Corp.'s 70,000-barrel-per-day Christina Lake thermal project (a separate operation from Cenovus' facility of the same name), following the completion of a temporary shutdown for maintenance. Article content Wildfire-related shut-ins and evacuations disrupt the lives and livelihoods of thousands of oilpatch workers each season, including rig and oilfield service workers and camp staff, most of whom aren't salaried and go without any pay while on standby for what can be prolonged periods.
