This project aims to build, demonstrate and advance quantum microscopes in Australia. The microscopes are based on the quantum metrology capabilities of nitrogen-vacancy centre defect spins in diamond. The project will use the microscopes to produce nanoscale images of the electric fields of individual electric charges and molecules in ambient conditions. It will then extend the capabilities of the microscopes towards the vibrational resonance imaging of single molecules. This project could improve the study of electronic processes in biology and nanotechnology and the structure and properties of complex molecules. It may also enable advances in interdisciplinary research and the development of high-performance materials, nanoelectronic devices and associated industry.

该项目旨在在澳大利亚建造、演示和推进量子显微镜。该显微镜是基于金刚石中氮空位中心缺陷自旋的量子计量能力。该项目将使用显微镜来产生单个电荷和分子在环境条件下的电场的纳米级图像。然后，它将扩展显微镜的能力，使其能够对单分子进行振动共振成像。该项目可以改进生物学和纳米技术中的电子过程以及复杂分子的结构和性质的研究。它还可以促进跨学科研究和高性能材料，纳米电子器件和相关行业的发展。
