An international team of scientists from Australia and Germany presented a new quantum microscope. With his help
The researchers explained that performancelight microscopes are limited to elementary particles of light - photons. The randomness in the timing of photon detection introduces noise that severely limits the sensitivity, resolution, and speed of devices. Although the long-known solution to this problem is to increase the intensity of light, this is not always possible when studying living systems, since bright lasers can disrupt biological processes.
Now scientists have improved biological imagingusing photon correlations. They showed that the noise can be reduced by 35% without affecting the subject of observation. This also increases the research speed.
New technology turns light microscope into ultra-high-resolution device
“The microscope is based on the science of quantumentanglement - an effect that Einstein described as "eerie interactions at a distance," said research leader Warwick Bowen of the Quantum Optics Laboratory. "Our sensor based on this technology significantly improves analogs."
Scientists noted that the new development will lead toimprovements in several technologies at once - for example, navigation systems or MRI machines. They also consider it an “important step forward” that this principle can replace non-quantum observing technologies.
