Quantum Engineer
| Posted on September 9, 2022
Efficient and fast detection of low light intensities is a key requirement in many optical quantum technologies or microscopy techniques. Pixel Photonics leverages superconducting technology in combination with integrated optics to provide novel detector modules and turn-key-detector solutions capable of detecting light down to the single photon level. Our scalable approach enables applications not feasible with current technology. By scaling to large photon numbers our detectors could allow optical quantum technologies to show their advantage over classical approaches. In quantum key distribution (QKD) our detector solution allows for a significant speed-up as well as scale-up of existing protocols enabling an implementation in every-day life.
Challenges:
- Highly efficient fiber-to-chip coupling with hundreds of fibers
- State of the art fabrication of nanophotonic chips
