Abstract
Flow cytometry is the most common technique used to probe heterogeneous populations of cells in a high throughput manner. We are interested in the limit when (1) the occurrence of a specific target biomarker is rare and (2) biomarker concentration is low. Here we discuss a framework for in-situ characterizing signal noise levels in those systems, and the use of quantum measurement to optimize detection. Our method enables us to measure biomarker concentration and unambiguously identify the presence of a single emitter from first principles: i.e. without the need for auxiliary calibration.
