Progress in this crucial scientific domain depends on innovative metrology approaches, utilizing reliable devices based on quantum effects. A new generation of molecule-based single-photon sources is presented, combining their integration in a polymeric micro-lens with pulsed excitation schemes, thereby realizing suitable resources in quantum radiometry. The strategy enhances the efficiency of generated single photon pulses and improves stability, providing a portable source at 784.7 nm that maintains consistent performance even through a cooling and heating cycle. The calibration of a single-photon avalanche detector is demonstrated using light sources with different photon statistics, and the advantages of the single-molecule device are discussed.

The quantum Fisher information is shown to be critical around the transitions at the exceptional points and exhibit a super universality, with respect to different parameters, all energy levels, both models, symmetric phases, and symmetry-broken phases, which guarantees a universally high measurement precision in quantum metrology. In particular, the transitions are found to be both symmetry-breaking Landau-class transitions (LCTs) and symmetry-protected topological-class transitions (TCTs), thus realizing a simultaneous occurrence of critical LCTs and TCTs that are conventionally incompatible due to contrary symmetry requirements.
