On 13 November 2025, the German Physical Society (DPG) announced that QuantumDiamonds receives the Technology Transfer Award for its outstanding application of advanced quantum-sensing technology for measuring minute magnetic fields and currents for precise fault detection in integrated circuits. This innovative approach enables unprecedented fault detection and localization in modern chip development and manufacturing. The successful transfer of this technology into practical applications allows the company to characterize new chip architectures more precisely and quickly.
The German Physical Society (DPG) is awarding the technology transfer prize jointly to the parties involved in leading examples of technology transfer, namely the institute from which the technology originates, the body responsible for the technology transfer, and the company implementing the technology.
Spun off from the chair of Prof. Dominik Bucher at TUM-NAT with the support of the TUM Venture Lab Quantum / Semicon (VLQS) within the MQV ecosystem, QuantumDiamonds managed to scale to this point in just three years after its founding.
Over the past four years, MQV has established a solid foundation for technology transfer, helping start-ups like QuantumDiamonds substantially accelerate their lab-to-market process by facilitating financial support as well as excellent infrastructure.
MQV, in conjunction with VLQS, is extremely proud and honored to be a co-recipient together with TUM-NAT and to have QuantumDiamonds as a technology-transfer role model in the quantum-technology sector.
Congratulations, especially to the team at QuantumDiamonds.
