Abstract: Leveraging quantum-entangled aroma molecules, Givaudan’s QScent® technology enables temperature-dependent scent evolution with 12 distinct olfactory states.

​

​1. Quantum Molecular Design​

​1.1 Entangled Pair Synthesis​

• ​Molecular Architecture:
  • Core: Benzodioxole-quantum dot conjugate (QD size: 2.3nm ±0.2nm)
  • Entangled Groups:
    • State A: Linalyl acetate (citrus/floral)
    • State B: Norlimbanol (woody/amber)

​1.2 Coherence Maintenance​

• ​Cryogenic Synthesis Protocol:

  Step	Temperature (K)	Duration (h)	Yield
  1	298	2	85%
  2	77	6	68%
  3	4	48	92%

​2. Performance Characterization​

​2.1 State Transition Dynamics​

• ​Body Temperature Response:

  Temp (°C)	State Transition Time (min)	Olfactory Shift
  32	8.2 ±1.1	Citrus → Floral
  36	3.4 ±0.7	Woody → Amber

​2.2 Sillage Persistence​
