Indo-German collaboration in Quantum Science traces back to the pivotal interaction between Albert Einstein and S. N. Bose that gave rise to Bose-Einstein statistics. This workshop, jointly organized by the S.N. Bose National Center for Basic Sciences and the Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research Dresden aims to strengthen Indo-German cooperation in the development of advanced materials for quantum sensing technologies. Particular focus areas include present quantum sensing technologies and the exploration of novel magnetic and topological materials for quantum sensing. Bringing together researchers and industry experts, the event fosters knowledge exchange, joint projects and integration of future materials and devices. the workshop aligns with India's National Quantum Mission and the Quantum Technologies Conceptual Framework of the German government, fostering innovation, training and long-term partnerships.
