Quantum light to accelerate bacterial detection: ILAMP and COPAN join forces in the QuBi project

Physics laboratory instrument

The ILAMP laboratories of Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore and COPAN Italia have launched QuBi – Quantum-based Bacteria Identification, a pioneering research project funded under the National Quantum Science and Technology Institute (NQSTI) within the Italian PNRR programme.
The initiative explores the use of quantum light sources—specifically single-photon and entangled-photon systems—to revolutionize bacterial detection and identification. The goal is to drastically reduce diagnostic times for sepsis, a condition responsible for 11 million deaths each year, by enabling the reliable recognition of pathogens in just a few hours.

Innovative inspection technologies: ILAMP and XNEXT explore infrared and terahertz solutions for real-time quality control

Physics laboratory instrument

A new industrial PhD project, jointly developed by ILAMP laboratories at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore and XNEXT, is pushing the boundaries of real-time inspection technologies for the food and automotive industries.

The research aims to design and implement an infrared and terahertz (THz) spectroscopy system to be integrated with XNEXT’s advanced multi-energy X-ray inspection technology. This combination promises a major leap forward in the detection of contaminants and foreign objects in products such as unpackaged food, enhancing both efficiency and consumer safety.

Chemiresistor gas sensors in food industry - Scientific projectwith Antares Vision Group

Part of the project is conducted in collaboration with Antares Vision S.p.A. The objective of the research is to develop a new architecture of chemiresistor gas sensors that provides appropriate sensitivity as well as suitable response and recovery times for integration into in-line inspection machines. The synthesis, characterization, and initial testing are performed at the ILAMP laboratories, while the final tests are carried out at the FT System facilities, the division of the Antares Group specializing in the food and beverage sector.
