Abstract
Quantum electron microscopy is an emerging field of study at the boundary between electron microscopy and quantum information science. While quantum technologies such as quantum computing have increasingly been discussed recently, it is generally hard to find truly useful applications in the near future, as we explain in the main text. We argue that quantum electron microscopy could be an exception to this rule and it would give us tangible quantum advantage. Specifically, we expect to obtain an increased amount of information from radiation-sensitive specimens, that are often important in fields such as structural biology and soft materials science.
