There are many types of quantum microscopes. And sometimes researchers mentioned that laser and electron microscopes are also quantum microscopes. Scanning tunneling microscopes are also one version of quantum microscopes.
In those systems, the ion or some subatomic particle like electron or proton is hovering between stylus and layer. The system is sensing the changes in the position of the particle.
And these systems are the sharpest microscopes in the world. Those microscopes are seeing single atoms. The resolution of the scanning tunneling microscope depends on the size of the particle that is used for scanning. The UV-lasers the surfaces from long distances.
But the problem is that the wavelength of those radiation types is quite long for the cases where the observable object is smaller than the atom. Most high-resolution images can take by using gamma-ray lasers. The problem is that the gamma-ray is not reflecting from surfaces.
The resolution of that kind of laser system depends on the wavelength that the system uses. The scanning laser microscope could use the row of single photons. Which makes it possible to scan extremely small objects.
So if the scanning tunneling microscope uses quarks it could see the surfaces of the protons. But the most promising thing is to use the superpositioned and entangled photons for scanning the surfaces. That kind of system could scan even the quarks inside the atoms. In that system, the photon is captured in the chamber. And then that photon will put superposition what makes it possible to use that photon pair for scanning the subatomic structures.
If the quantum microscope uses superpositioned and entangled particles for scanning the surfaces there is no limit for distance where that system can operate. The system, that uses the superpositioned and entangled particles can scan the surfaces even on another planet if there is enough energy for creating that thing. The superpositioned particle pair acts like the phonograph needle. And when another part of the particle pair is moving. Also, another pair is moving the same way.
Quantum technology will change the world. And the ability to make the long-range high-resolution scanning is one of the most interesting things in material research. And we cannot still know all solutions that this kind of technology might have.
In some visions, the quantum microscope is targeted at the molecule. And then the skyrmion will cut the bond of atoms at a certain point. If we are thinking about the chemical bond as the wire. The skyrmion could cut one of the wires as an example of a triple bond. Then the quantum tweezer will move the wanted atom or molecule to that point. That thing makes it possible to make a new type of chemical structure that can use in nanotechnology.
