New Delhi: A team at IIT Bombay under National Quantum Mission (NQM) has developed India’s first indigenous Quantum Diamond Microscope (QDM) for dynamic magnetic field imaging — a breakthrough that marks a milestone in quantum sensing, the government said on Wednesday.

Announced on the sidelines of Emerging Science Technology and Innovation Conclave (ESTIC 2025), QDM can map magnetic field in 3D layers within an encapsulated semiconductor chip, an official statement said, adding that it has earned India its first patent in this domain.

The QDM was developed under the National Quantum Mission (NQM) of the Department of Science and Technology (DST) by P- P-P-Quest Group at IIT Bombay. It is based on nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centres in diamond and acts as a powerful platform for three-dimensio
