Connecting photonic integration and single-photon detection with high-performance many-channel superconducting nanowire detectors.
With our waveguide-integrated single-photon detectors we combine integrated photonics and state-of-the-art single photon detection. Unlike other approaches, our technology is inherently scalable and satisfies the requirements of quantum optics applications.
We deliver the highly parallelized, efficient and ultra-fast single-photon detection that drives research in many areas from imaging to quantum cryptography.
