Qnami
ProteusQ maps a sample's local magnetic fields alongside its surface shape. A diamond probe's NV spin provides the magnetic sensor; this is an instrument for investigating materials and devices, rather than a processor for running quantum algorithms.

Qnami joined Quantum Design in June 2026. The instrument brand remains separately discoverable.
What it does. Where it fits.
Diamond nitrogen-vacancy spin sensors integrated into a scanning probe microscope
Who should look closer
Materials and device researchers who need spatially resolved magnetic measurements, with sample compatibility checked against the installed configuration.
QubitWire’s editorial assessment of practical fit.Explore the microscope
Instrument and probe procurement through Qnami. The product page provides a sales contact; a university installation does not itself establish open public booking.
Check the current access route ↗What has been demonstrated
Purdue lists a ProteusQ in its metrology core, with room-temperature AFM, fluorescence and continuous-wave magnetic-resonance measurements. That institutional record supports a delivered instrument and specific research capabilities. Qnami announced its acquisition by Quantum Design on June 2, 2026.
What remains unresolved
Resolution and supported measurement modes depend on the probe and configuration. Purdue still describes pulsed modes as forthcoming; the page does not verify those modes are operational there.
The next question to watch
Can independently documented workflows show repeatable magnetic measurements across multiple samples, operators and installations in the intended industrial use case?
A research question, not a promised milestone.QubitWire coverage

Sources & evidence
- Qnami's Quantum Microscope - ProteusQ ↗Organization-originated source · Publication date not stated
ProteusQ combines scanning NV microscopy, Quantilever probes, MicrowaveQ electronics and LabQ software, including simultaneous topography and magnetic-field mapping.
- Qnami ProteusQ Diamond NV Scanning Microscope — Birck Nanotechnology Center ↗External source (may be a collaborator) · Publication date not stated
Purdue lists the ProteusQ in its metrology core and documents room-temperature AFM, fluorescence and continuous-wave ODMR measurements. Pulsed modes are described as future availability on that installation.
- Qnami Joins Quantum Design to Accelerate the Future of Quantum Sensing ↗Organization-originated source · 2 Jun 2026
Qnami states it has been acquired by Quantum Design; proposed faster innovation and expanded support are expected benefits rather than verified performance improvements.
- Qnami Supports VerticalCompute, Driving European Semiconductor Innovation ↗Organization-originated source · 25 Jun 2025
Qnami reports supplying quantum metrology support for VerticalCompute's semiconductor development; this is vendor-reported use without an independently quantified production outcome.
