We are pleased to share a new peer-reviewed publication titled “microStabilize: In-plane microstructure stabilization in optical microscopy via normalized correlation coefficient matching method“, authored by Marek Grzegorz Mikulicz from Wrocław University of Science and Technology (PWR) and now published in SoftwareX (Vol. 29, 2025), by Elsevier.

This work introduces microStabilize, an open-source software developed for accurate, real-time stabilization of microstructures in optical spectroscopy experiments—an essential capability for long-term quantum photonics measurements. The software leverages computer vision algorithms, specifically normalized correlation coefficient matching from the OpenCV library, to ensure precise sample positioning during experiments involving quantum dots emitting at telecom wavelengths (C-band).

This innovation directly supports QPIC1550’s objectives by improving the stability and reliability of photonic experiments fundamental to integrated quantum technologies.
