Outreach activity:

Based on the achievements presented in articles Nr. 23 and 24 on our publication list, we have initiated a project to develop an affordable electron microscope and introduce quantum education for elementary, junior high, and high school students. The electron microscope we are developing has the capability to display unique flower-like electron distributions in individual molecules, which are distinctive features of the quantum world. Currently, equipment capable of visualizing such electron distributions costs around 300,000 USD, but our microscope aims to be priced at approximately 3000 USD.

Once we successfully develop the affordable FEM as envisioned, our plan is to sell them to schools and launch quantum education programs for children. The profits from these sales will be utilized to provide financial support to quantum physicists who are engaged in challenging research but may lack financial resources to support their salary. Our goal is to ensure they can continue their work without financial concerns. We have named this project the "Quantum Kids Project," and you can find further information on our website at the following address:
