Quantum computer microscope is set to significantly improve electron microscopy

Phys.org reports that a quantum‑computer‑based microscope could capture the quantum information carried by electrons, which conventional electron microscopes typically ignore. Because standard electron microscopes only count electrons, they miss the extra quantum data that could sharpen imaging of tiny structures. If the new approach works as intended, it may significantly improve the resolution and detail achievable in electron microscopy.
