Qnami is a Swiss quantum technology company specializing in nanoscale magnetic imaging using quantum sensorsbased on nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond. Founded in 2017 as a spin-off from the University of Basel, Qnami develops cutting-edge instruments that leverage the quantum properties of NV centers to explore magnetic phenomena at the atomic and nanoscale level.
Qnami’s technology is built on quantum diamond sensors, where NV centers (atomic-scale defects in diamond) act as ultra-sensitive, room-temperature magnetometers. These sensors enable non-invasive, high-resolution imaging of magnetic fields down to nanometer scales and quantitative measurements of magnetic textures and spin structures. The sensors can also operate in cryogenic environments and under magnetic fields.
Qnami’s instruments are used by universities, national labs, and high-tech companies working on quantum materials & topological magnets, magnetic imaging (skyrmions & spin textures) and superconductors & correlated electron systems. (QNAMI website)
The Belgian Physical Society (BPS) — or Société Belge de Physique (SBP) in French, Belgische Natuurkundige Vereniging (BNV) in Dutch — is the national organization representing the physics community in Belgium. It serves as a platform for promoting the advancement, communication, and education of physics in all its branches. Its mission is to foster scientific exchange among physicists, encourage young scientists, and promote the role of physics in society, education, and innovation.
The BPS organizes scientific meetings, including the Annual Physics Conference, which gathers researchers and students across Belgium, supports physics education and outreach initiatives in schools and universities and collaborates with European and international physics societies, such as the European Physical Society (EPS).
Reflecting the multilingual nature of Belgium, the BPS operates in French, Dutch, and English. (Website of the BPS)
