TCS, IIT Bombay to build India’s first quantum diamond microchip imager

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) said on Tuesday it will work with the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay) to develop the country’s first Quantum Diamond Microchip Imager, a tool to check the quality of semiconductors.

It “images” magnetic fields for a non-invasive and non-destructive mapping of semiconductor chips, like a magnetic resonance imaging machine at a hospital. The collaboration between the information technology services (IT) company and IIT Bombay “is aligned” with the government’s National Quantum Mission to make India a global quantum technology leader, said a statement.
