APPLICATIONS
MUQUABIS builds on the scientific and technical expertise of its partners to develop quantum sensing and imaging tools for the non-invasive ultra-precise study of biological samples, combining quantum technologies, photonics, and biophysics. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, it lays the groundwork for the use of quantum tools to advance the understanding of cardiac diseases, thereby contributing to the development of European research along previously unexplored paths.
QUANTUM SPECTROSCOPY FOR ORGANIC, BIOLOGICAL AND LIVING SAMPLES
Using dual-comb and squeezed-vacuum light, this application enables ultra-sensitive spectroscopy of proteins in cardiac cells and molecules in their surroundings. By comparing healthy and pathological samples, we identify specific biological components with a sensitivity that cannot be obtained by classical methods.
QUANTUM IMAGING WITH NONCLASSICAL LIGHT
This IR quantum imaging technique uses undetected photons to visualize cardiac tissue at the micron scale. It enables detailed, damage-free imaging of living or delicate biological samples. This safe and precise application is useful for studying heart disease and tissue changes.
MAGNETIC BIOIMAGING OF THE CARDIAC MONOLAYERS
Combining quantum magnetometry and advanced modeling, this application maps the magnetic and electrophysiological behavior of cardiac tissues. It paves the way for low-energy defibrillation strategies and innovative control tools of cardiac arrhythmias.
