IIT Bombay has collaborated with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), India’s largest IT service company, to develop the nation’s inaugural ‘Quantum Diamond Microchip Imager.’
These semiconductor chips are crucial components for modern electric devices.
It’s utilized across various sectors like communications, computing, healthcare, military systems, transportation, and clean energy, making it a key component in electric gadgets.
Quantum diamond microchip imager can produce images of magnetic fields
As per the official statement, the Quantum Diamond Microchip Imager can create images of magnetic fields.
This allows for non-invasive and non-destructive mapping of a semiconductor chip, much like how an MRI works in a hospital, without entering or causing damage to any organism or object.
Which experts will work together
TCS experts will collaborate with Dr. Kasturi Saha, an Associate Professor at the prestigious technical institute, to create a quantum imaging platform at the PQuest lab.
Dr. Saha mentioned that they will jointly develop a quantum imaging platform for non-destructive chip testing, using their expertise in quantum sensing to drive innovation.
Dr. Kasturi Saha works in the Electrical Engineering Department of IIT Bombay.
What does the TCS officer have to say?
TCS Chief Technical Officer Harik Vin mentioned that the rapid progress of the ‘second quantum revolution’ is driving the need to combine resources and expertise.
This is essential for developing advanced capabilities in sensing, computing, and communication technologies.
What is National Quantum Mission
This collaboration is a major achievement in the efforts of India’s National Quantum Mission.
The National Quantum Mission, initiated by the Central Government, seeks to position the country as a global leader in quantum technology.
