IIT Bombay, through its P-Quest Group, developed India’s first Quantum Diamond Microscope, marking a major milestone in indigenous quantum technology. The microscope leverages nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond to perform advanced magnetic imaging with nanoscale precision. Its ability to visualise 3D magnetic fields using optically detected magnetic resonance makes it a powerful tool across scientific domains. Potential applications range from studying neural activity in neuroscience to analyzing magnetic properties of materials and performing non-destructive 3D mapping of semiconductor chips. This achievement strengthens India’s technological capabilities under the National Quantum Mission and advances research in cutting-edge quantum sensing technologies.
