Magnetic Imaging with SQUID sensitivity by Quantum Design, and New CEO 

February 19, 2025 Editorial Staff Comments Off on Magnetic Imaging with SQUID sensitivity by Quantum Design, and New CEO 

The QDM.IO is the first system on the market which provides large area imaging of the magnetic field distribution using measurement based on nitrogen-vacancy centers implanted in a diamond. Conventional NV center-based microscopes use a single NV center in the tip and scan the sample, however, the heart of this microscope is a chip with many NV centers which can measure a large area simultaneously. The result is nanotesla sensitivity that not only detects the strength but also the local vector of the magnetic field.  […]
