Quantum Design International has acquired Qnami, a Swiss company specializing in diamond-based quantum sensing and scanning probe microscopy technologies. The deal is aimed at expanding Quantum Design’s portfolio for quantum materials, nanomagnetism, spintronics, semiconductors, and advanced device characterization.
Qnami develops nitrogen-vacancy (NV) diamond-based scanning probe systems and components that enable nanoscale magnetic imaging and precision field sensing, tools that are increasingly used in spintronics and quantum materials research. According to the companies, the combined organization will focus on advancing Qnami’s existing SPM platforms and quantum sensing components while exploring new opportunities in academic labs, national facilities, and industrial R&D.
The acquisition follows Quantum Design’s purchase of Oxford Instruments’ NanoScience division earlier in 2026, further consolidating its position as a supplier of cryogenic and measurement infrastructure for quantum and spin-based technologies. By integrating Qnami’s NV-diamond sensing know-how with its global sales and service network, Quantum Design aims to accelerate the deployment of advanced quantum sensing solutions in spintronics and related fields.
