Who we are

We build next-gen testing tools based on quantum sensing to solve one of the semiconductor industry’s hardest problems

At QuantumDiamonds, we are building a new class of testing tools that use quantum sensors to see deeper, measure faster, and reveal what other tools can’t. We aim to bring this capability into every advanced semiconductor fab and redefine what's possible in testing and yield optimization.

Our mission

At QuantumDiamonds, we are redefining semiconductor testing. Our mission is to unleash the full potential of quantum sensing, to deliver unprecedented precision in magnetic and electric field imaging. We aim to disrupt conventional semiconductor testing methods and accelerate fault localization deep within 3D semiconductor architectures.

Our vision

We envision a future where we help the world build better semiconductors. Our technology will set the global benchmark for non-destructive, ultra-precise electrical and magnetic imaging. By enabling deep insight into complex 3D architectures, QuantumDiamonds will empower semiconductor manufacturers to accelerate design cycles, boost yield, and drive the next wave of high-performance, energy-efficient electronics, while reducing waste and lowering the carbon footprint of semiconductor production.

Our values

What we truly believe in

Sense opportunities and focus on the customer

See around the corner and seek out opportunities to adapt our product to suit evolving customer preferences and market dynamics.

Better done than perfect

Perfection is the enemy of innovation. We’re not in the business of the steady and stable.

Just deliver!

Go the “extra mile” and push the boundaries in every interaction, project, and endeavor.

Be proactive, it’s on you

Don’t wait to be told what to do. It’s your responsibility to see ahead and own solutions.

If knowledge flows, success grows

Communicate within your team and the golden triangle of business, hardware, and software. This is the only way to succeed as a whole.

FOUNDING TEAM

Research to Revenue

Dr. Fleming Bruckmaier

CTO & Co-Founder

Fleming built one of Europe’s leading quantum sensing labs at TU Munich as part of his PhD at the Bucher Lab and developed experimental setups for diamond-based quantum sensing. He has spent the past eight years working on quantum technologies, holds a Master’s degree in Physics from ETH Zurich, and earned his PhD in Quantum Sensing from TU Munich. Read his paper about imaging local diffusion in microstructures using NV-based pulsed field gradient NMR here and find some of his research work here.

Kevin Berghoff

CEO & Co-Founder

Kevin met Fleming during his PhD at TU Munich in entrepreneurship, while on education leave from McKinsey & Company, where he spent three years advising global technology leaders in the Advanced Electronics practice across Europe and Asia. He dropped out to co-found QD and build a category leader in this promising space. He holds a Master’s degree in Management from NOVA School of Business and Economics as part of the CEMS program.

Our TEAM

A stellar team from multi-discipline backgrounds

We are a group of physicists, engineers, and builders turning quantum science into production-ready hardware. Our team combines academic depth with startup execution, bringing experience from leading institutions and companies like TUM, ETH Zurich, LMU, Harvard, McKinsey, Intel, Airbus, and Infineon.
