As part of the 'Munich Quantum Valley' Lighthouse Project IQ-Sense, researchers at the Technical University of Munich have developed a new method for the optical detection of MRI signals using diamond-based quantum sensors. In collaboration with the Hospital of the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, the researchers now want to make their method applicable for clinical use in the field of cancer monitoring, for which they have received the Medical Valley Award.

Last week, Quantum Diamonds hosted the official launch of its new device. The start-up from the Munich Quantum Valley ecosystem presented its new, high-resolution quantum microscope to an invited audience of investors and supporters from industry and academia at its facilities in Werk 1 of Munich's Werksviertel.

Earlier this month, the European Innovation Council (EIC) announced that Qlibri's QlibriNANO, the world's most sensitive absorption microscope, is among the projects selected to receive a grant of up to €2.5 million.

Earlier this week, MQV ecosystem start-up QuantumDiamonds announced a very successful 7 million euro seed funding round led by IQ Capital and Earlybird.

The lighthouse project IQ-Sense began its work at the beginning of the year. As one of currently seven projects, it is funded by the Free State of Bavaria within the framework of Munich Quantum Valley (MQV) and aims to develop quantum sensors for application in biology and medicine.

Funded by the Free State of Bavaria as part of Munich Quantum Valley (MQV), QuMeCo is set to explore new and better measurement and control methods for quantum systems and took up its work at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) beginning of January.
