Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) said it will develop the country's first quantum diamond microchip imager, a tool for checking the quality of semiconductors, in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay).
It "images" magnetic fields for non-invasive and non-destructive mapping of semiconductor chips, much like a magnetic resonance imaging machine in 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, a statement said.
"The second quantum revolution is advancing at an unprecedented pace, making it imperative to pool our resources and expertise to build cutting-edge capabilities in sensing, computing and communication technologies," said Harrick Win, chief technology officer, TCS.
He added, "Our collaboration with IIT Bombay is perfectly aligned with the quantum sensing and metrology vertical of the National Quantum Mission. We strongly believe that this initiative will have a transformational impact on various industries and society, with applications ranging from electronics to healthcare and beyond. By working together, we can drive innovation and create a brighter future for all."
TCS said in the statement that the device will "unlock new levels" of precision in testing semiconductor chips, reduce chip failures and improve the energy efficiency of electronic devices.
Over the next two years, experts from TCS will develop the quantum imaging platform at the PiQuest lab in collaboration with Dr Kasturi Saha, associate professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering at IIT Bombay.
Saha said, "IIT Bombay is excited to collaborate with TCS on developing a quantum imaging platform for non-destructive examination of chips, which will leverage our extensive expertise in quantum sensing to drive innovation. By working together, we aim to transform various sectors, including electronics and healthcare, and advance India through groundbreaking technologies and products aligned with the quantum sensing and metrology vertical of the National Quantum Mission."
This device strengthens the quality control of semiconductor chips to improve product reliability, safety and energy efficiency of electrical devices.
Professor Shirish Kedare, Director, IIT Bombay said, "IIT Bombay has a wide and deep reservoir of expertise in various critical areas, and we are looking forward to collaborating with the industry to convert ideas, innovations and research into technologies and products through such collaborations, as well as startups that will take India forward."
