TCS teams with IIT-Bombay to build India’s first Quantum Diamond Microchip imager

IIT Bombay has entered a strategic partnership with the Tata Consultancy Services to develop India’s first Quantum Diamond Microchip Imager. This advanced sensing tool will hold the potential to unlock new levels of precision in the examination of semiconductor chips, reduce chip failures and improve the energy efficiency of electronic devices.
Prof. Kasturi Saha,
Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering, IITB and a core committee member of the CoE-QuICST said,"PQuest group at IIT Bombay is excited to collaborate with TCS on developing a quantum imaging platform for the non-destructive examination of chips, leveraging our extensive expertise in quantum sensing to drive innovation. By working together, we aim to transform various sectors, including electronics and healthcare, and propel India forward through groundbreaking technologies and products aligned with National Quantum Mission's Quantum Sensing and Metrology vertical."

Congratulations to Prof. Kasturi Saha for being elected as INSA Associate Fellow 2023!
Prof. Kasturi Saha, a distinguished professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering, IIT Bombay & a core committee member of the CoE-QuICST has made outstanding contributions to the emerging area of quantum technologies using Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centres in diamond. She developed a quantum diamond microscope (QDM) demonstrating real time-varying magnetic fields with micro-meter spatial resolution for the first time, and an image reconstruction algorithm for NV centre-based magnetic resonance imaging. These techniques lay the foundations for exciting future experiments in quantum sensing. We congratulate her for this great achievement.
