Energy Plug, Quantum Emotion form joint committee

QESS · Price

Executive Summary

  • Energy Plug Technologies Corp. and Quantum Emotion Corp. have formed a joint development steering committee under their October 14, 2025, agreement to accelerate the integration of Quantum Emotion’s quantum-secure hardware into Energy Plug’s energy storage systems.
  • The collaboration aims to embed Quantum Emotion’s hardware-based quantum random number generator (QRNG) chips directly into Energy Plug’s next-generation battery management systems (BMS) to provide post-quantum cybersecurity for critical infrastructure.
  • Prototype development is targeted for Q1 2026, with field trials planned with Canadian defense and utility partners, following the finalization of technical integration pathways and IP co-ownership frameworks.

Key Details

  • Parties Involved: Energy Plug Technologies Corp. and Quantum Emotion Corp.
  • Agreement Date: October 14, 2025.
  • Committee Status: The joint development steering committee has been successfully formed and completed its first working session.
  • Technical Integration:
    • Quantum Emotion’s hardware-based quantum random number generator (QRNG) chips will be embedded directly into Energy Plug’s next-generation energy storage systems.
    • Architecture finalized for QRNG-secured firmware and encrypted battery management systems (BMS).
    • Integration occurs at the chip level, providing "true postquantum cybersecurity" using space-grade quantum entropy.
  • Intellectual Property: An IP co-ownership framework has been ratified under Canadian jurisdiction.
  • Timeline and Milestones:
    • Prototype development is underway.
    • Field trials are targeted for Q1 2026.
    • Pilot deployment roadmap approved, with first installations slated for secure telecom and microgrid sites.
  • Strategic Context: The collaboration addresses rising cybersecurity threats, noting a 23% increase in ransomware attempts in Canada's energy sector in 2024 compared to 2022, with state-sponsored actors targeting grid control systems.
  • Quotes:
    • Dr. Ramtin Rasouli (CTO, Energy Plug): "Within weeks of signing, we've moved from concept to concrete engineering specifications."
    • Francis Bellido (CEO, Quantum Emotion): "Our QRNG silicon is now being designed into Energy Plug's BMS at the chip level. This is one of the first known integration of space-grade quantum entropy into North American energy storage -- delivering true postquantum cybersecurity for critical systems."
