Q-mic at the Quantum Career Symposium

On April 8th, 2022, the emblematic building of La Pedrera, in downtown Barcelona, hosted the Quantum Career Symposium. The symposium was inspired by the EU CARLA project, which has worked with 100 professionals of the industry and academia, entrepreneurs and experts in innovation, researchers and students as well as experts and activists in different diversity […]

New quantum microscope enhances sensitivity avoiding photodamage

A team of researchers from ICFO, Politecnico di Milano, Micro Photon Devices, Fraunhofer IOF, partners of the Q-MIC project, report on the scientific achievements of a novel quantum-enhanced microscope.As a kid, were you ever curious to know what lice looked like from really close by? Or even a mosquito? To do this you would definitely […]

Holography Enabled by Quantum Entanglement

A team of researchers reports in Nature physics on a technique based to extract the quantum information hidden in a signal that carries both classical and quantum information. This technique opens a new pathway for quantum enhanced microscopes that use polarisation entanglement to encode phase information about a transparent object and uses low-intensity incoherent light […]

Q-mic’s new infograph

The Q-mic consortium creates an infograph aimed at visually explaining the goals of developing this unique microscope. Would you like to understand what is the objective of the Q-mic project? Want to know why the technology used for the development of the microscope is different from the rest. Take a look at the infograph that […]
