Multiphoton microscopy and ultrafast spectroscopy: Imaging meets quantum (MUSIQ) roadmap

In April 2019 the EU Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Innovative Training Networks (ITN) MUSIQ officially started. The network brought together a unique team of world-leading academics and industrial partners at the forefront of optical micro-spectroscopy and ultrafast laser technology developments merged with fundamental studies of coherent light-matter interaction phenomena, development of quantitative image analysis tools beyond state-of-the-art, and biomedical/pharmaceutical real-world applications. The unique vision of MUSIQ has been to develop and apply the next-generation optical microscopy technologies exploiting quantum coherent nonlinear phenomena. This Roadmap has been written collectively by the MUSIQ early-stage researchers and their supervisors. It provides a summary of the achievements within MUSIQ to date, with an outlook towards future directions
