Tata Consultancy Services has announced that it is partnering with the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IIT-Bombay), to develop India's first Quantum Diamond Microchip Imager. This advanced sensing tool has 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.

For the project, the TCS experts will work with Dr. Kasturi Saha, an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering of IIT-Bombay, to develop the quantum imaging platform in the PQuest Lab. This platform will enable better quality control of semiconductor chips, thereby improving electrical device's product reliability, safety, and energy efficiency.

Semiconductor chips are significant components of all modern electronic devices, making them intelligent and efficient. These chips act as the brains of devices across industries such as communications, computing, healthcare, military systems, transportation, clean energy, and more. 

According to Dr Kasturi Saha, Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering, IIT-Bombay, the PQuest group at IIT Bombay is excited to collaborate with TCS on developing a quantum imaging platform for the nondestructive examination of chips, leveraging our extensive expertise in quantum sensing to drive innovation. 

By working together, they 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.

Dr Harrick Vin, Chief Technology Officer at TCS, stated that the Second Quantum Revolution is progressing at an unprecedented speed, making it imperative to pool our resources and expertise to build cutting-edge capabilities in sensing, computing, and communication technologies. 

The team firmly believes that this initiative will have a transformative impact on various industries and society, with applications ranging from electronics to healthcare and beyond.
