Being able to detect a single electron among billions sounds more like a good way to get entropy rather than something that can help with quantum measurements. At least that's my initial intuition being completely ignorant in Quantum Computing.

Do you have other things you want to provide that your self-proclaimed ignorance would be helpful with?

It doesn't detect a single electron, it detects parity of the number of electrons.
