LGDinTECH Insights: Episode 5

Inside the Technology That Makes Quantum Chips Possible

Diamond is quickly becoming one of the most important materials in next-generation technology, from quantum sensors and semiconductors to advanced heat management in electronics. But working with the hardest material on Earth presents a massive challenge.

In this episode of LGDinTECH Insights, Liz Chatelain sits down with Dr. Bernold Richerzhagen, founder and president of Synova: the company behind the groundbreaking Laser MicroJet® technology. This water-guided laser system enables diamonds to be cut with extraordinary precision while minimizing heat damage, unlocking new possibilities for advanced materials and diamond processing.

Synova’s technology is already being used in semiconductor manufacturing, aerospace, and advanced materials processing, and could play a critical role in the future of quantum computing and high-performance electronics.

If you’re developing deep-tech hardware, semiconductors, or advanced materials, this episode is packed with insights into how diamond is moving from gemstone to critical technology platform.
