Photonics Hot List: September 20, 2024

Sept. 20, 2024
In this episode: a microscope setup boosts brain imaging, a novel simulator covers the imaging pipeline, and topology emerges as quantum powerhouse.

In this episode of Photonics Hot List:

With its ability to capture high-speed images of neural activity at cellular resolution, a new two-photon fluorescence microscope developed by a team at the University of California, Davis is offering deeper insight into the brain and how its neural networks communicate and interact.

A team at Synopsys has designed a first-of-its-kind comprehensive virtual prototyping platform for system-level imaging. It incorporates all components of an imaging setup into a single system that’s quicker and significantly more accurate than existing setups.

A collaborative team from the University of Rostock and Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg, in work based on the Hong–Ou–Mandel effect, has discovered that topology could someday play a substantial role in the quantum realm.
