We explore the role of single-photon detectors in advancing quantum technologies, with a focus on superconducting nanowire detectors (SNSPDs) and the benefits they offer for quantum computing and high-speed quantum communication.
Microwave fields in conventional scenarios are detected using superheterodyne techniques. Photon counting at the microwave level presents immense challenges and can only be realized with advanced superconducting, cryogenic circuits operating at dilution refrigerator temperatures.
In this webinar, we introduce very briefly QKD and present the state of the art of the technology. Single photon detectors are a key element of a QKD system. They must be efficient, fast and feature low timing jitters for high rate QKD and low noise for long distance links. Superconducting nanowire...
Learn about scalable semiconductor light sources and their role in large-scale quantum technologies in a webinar hosted by Dr. Walid Redjem from UC Berkeley. He will discuss recent breakthroughs in the study of single artificial atoms in silicon and the potential of scale-invariant on-chip lasers on...
In this webinar, Eleni Diamanti, CNRS Research Director at the LIP6 laboratory at Paris-Sorbonne, and Vice Director of the Paris Centre for Quantum Computing, joins us to explore some of the advantages in security and computational efficiency.
Whether for quantum communication, bio-sensing, eye-safe LiDAR, or fluorescence lifetime imaging, the art of counting single photons is no simple task. Join us for the next installation in our DIY workshop series.
In this workshop, Dr Martin Felle explores some of the schemes for building a Quantum Relay, including the necessary components and sub-systems, and some of the technical challenges you will encounter along the way.
In this webinar, Sofiane Merkouche, PhD Candidate at the Oregon Center for Optical, Molecular and Quantum Science (University of Oregon) shows one way of harnessing the high-dimensional nature of TF entanglement. He presents a TF entanglement swapping experiment where frequency-resolved Bell-state...
In this workshop, Dr Martin Felle explores some of the schemes for building a Quantum Relay, including the necessary components and sub-systems, and some of the technical challenges you will encounter along the way.
In this workshop, Martin Felle, from ID Quantique looks at the second- and third-order correlation functions of Quantum Optics, and how to measure them. Whether characterizing purity of your photonic number states for QKD, implementing Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometry for quantum imaging, carrying out...
This webinar, presented by Prof. Hugo Zbinden, explores the development of the detector technology that has allowed quantum communication to leave the lab and reach the world of practical QKD.
