The European Quantum Technology Research Centre (EQTR) and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) jointly announced the successful development of the world's first quantum-enhanced super-resolution microscope. Utilizing quantum entangled light sources and compressed sensing imaging technology, this instrument has for the first time achieved real-time 3D tracking of individual protein molecules within living cells, reaching a resolution of 0.5 angstroms (Å)—10 times higher than current state-of-the-art precision. The research findings were published today in the journal Science.

Employing quantum dot arrays to generate entangled photon pairs, increasing the imaging signal-to-noise ratio by 20 times and completely overcoming the phototoxicity issues of traditional microscopy.

Combining neural networks to parse quantum signals in real time, enabling millisecond-scale reconstruction of molecular dynamic trajectories.

A patented liquid helium cooling technology maintains quantum state stability for over 24 hours, meeting long-term observation requirements.

In observations of Alzheimer's-related proteins:

: Provides new tools for researching Parkinson's, Huntington's disease, and other disorders

: Enables direct observation of drug-target binding processes, shortening R&D cycles

: Confirms quantum coherence in biomolecules with duration突破毫秒级 for the first time

Nobel Laureate in Chemistry Stefan Hell remarked, "This is not only a leap in microscopy technology but also opens a new era for quantum biology."

The device is expected to become commercially available by 2026, with the first batch prioritized for the world's top ten disease research centers.
