Coordinator: Universität Zürich, Switzerland.
- Q-SORT introduces a revolutionary concept whereby the Transmission Electron Microscopy is employed as a Quantum Sorter by introducing a new parallel analysis strategy of the wavefunction to achieve three other high-risk breakthroughs of vast applicability: assessing the Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) of plasmonic resonances in select nanoparticles, achieving atomic-resolution magnetic dichroism, and identifying different proteins based on selected properties. Coordinator: Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Italy.
