Startup from Basel Qnami wins Venture Kick finals

The young startup of the University of Basel, Qnami, is the winner of the Venture Kick prize worth 130'000 Swiss Francs. Qnami develops precise and highly sensitive quantum sensors that provide images in nanometer resolution. Modern quantum technology provides the basis for Qnami's goal to improve imaging techniques and diagnostic methods. The quantum sensors developed by Qnami enable a wide range of applicationsfrom failure analysis in the electronics industry to a reduction of scan times in magnetic resonance imaging in medical diagnostics. Diamonds as key to success. The startup Qnami was founded in 2016 by Georg-H.-Endress Patrick Maletinsky and Dr. Mathieu Munsch from the Department of Physics and Swiss Nanoscience Institute at the University of Basel. Together with two additional employees, the two physicists use synthetic diamonds as sensors.
