One of the promising technologies that we will have in the nearest future is related to quantum mechanics. With the powerful tool such as artificial intelligence that we have right now, it is hard to imagine what it will become with the new technology. Quantum computing is one of the promising technologies that will further elevate various areas. This article delves into the basics of this technology and its use with artificial intelligence. The two technologies are capable of unimaginable changes in our world. The possible advantages of the two technologies will be covered in this article. Some drawbacks that they will bring with them are also covered.

This exhaustive quality-research paper covers the field of emerging materials and their intrinsic properties and including how they can be used in the future in quantum technologies. The arrival of quantum mechanics is one of the most important scientific discoveries of the 20th century, with the promise of new computer generations, enhanced information transfer and precision measurement. However, the development of future quantum technology is highly dependent on the discovery of new materials that enable us to control quantum phenomena. This article carefully considers a range of advanced materials that have emerged recently, such as novel superconductors, topological insulators and graphene derivatives, to explore the unique quantum properties of these materials and how they can be exploited in quantum devices. By using advanced experimental techniques, including angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), advanced instruments that allow us to probe electronic structures, spin textures and topological properties with atomic electron and spin resolution, the areas with most interesting quantum properties can be discovered, key for the development of quantum technologies. This paper details understanding of quantum coherence and decoherence mechanisms of the advanced materials. Quantum coherence is one of the most important properties for using the quantum features of materials for information processing. Through quantum states and entanglement, the quantum coherence can be manipulated and enhanced, which is also intertwined with the environment. Better understanding of quantum coherence and the mechanisms of decoherence can help to improve future generations of quantum technologies. The results reported here help to explain the mechanisms leading to design and performance of new materials for the quantum technology revolution. Studying advanced materials not only advance the understanding of quantum nature but will also power future quantum computing, quantum communication and quantum sensing devices. Current research can take advantage of all aspects of these new materials and advance the boundaries of science, engineering, computing, information exchange and sensing.

Microscopes are indispensable tools in modern biology and medicine.With the development of microscopy, the signal-tonoise ratio of microscopes is now limited by the shot noise.Recently, quantum-enhanced microscopic imaging provides a feasible approach for improving the signal-to-noise ratio since it can beat the shot-noise limit by using quantum light.In this review, we first briefly introduce quantum states applied in quantum-enhanced microscopic imaging, and then we provide an overview of the principle and progress of quantum-enhanced stimulated Raman scattering microscopy, entangled twophoton microscopy, and quantum-enhanced differential interference contrast microscopy.
