IIT Bombay has announced a collaboration with the country's largest IT services provider, TCS, to develop India's first quantum diamond microchip imager. A quantum diamond microchip imager can image magnetic fields, allowing for non-invasive and non-destructive mapping of semiconductor chips similar to an MRI at a hospital, according to an official statement, adding that this technology is critical given the challenges of detecting anomalies posed by traditional sensing methods due to semiconductors' shrinking size.
 
An indigenous quantum diamond microchip imager that combines quantum diamond microscopy with artificial intelligence/machine learning-powered software imaging would help India advance in the quantum revolution, according to the report.
 
This enhanced sensing instrument has the potential to unleash new levels of precision in the evaluation of semiconductor chips, reduce chip failures, and improve the energy efficiency of electronic products, according to the release.
 
Semiconductor chips are found in all modern electronic devices, and the two partners' efforts over the next two years will attempt to improve device reliability, safety, and energy efficiency, according to the announcement. According to the statement, the chips serve as the brains of devices in a variety of industries, including communications, computing, healthcare, military systems, transportation, and clean energy.
 
TCS experts will collaborate with Kasturi Saha, an associate professor at the premier technology institute, to create a quantum imaging platform for the PQuest Lab.
