Funding from Federal Ministry of Education and Research for MultiQomm Project
The Project "Scalable Multichannel Quantum Communication Platform (MultiQomm)" aims for the development of integrating different superconducting single photon detectors with different detector properties and functions on a single chip. Pixel Photonics is committed to pursue the vision of this novel approach.
Precious light
New quantum detectors are at the heart of many technologies, but also have the potential to revolutionize classical fields where light transmits important information.
WI-SNSPDs are used in many areas such as quantum computing, secure quantum communication, life sciences, LiDAR and metrology.
Making Hidden Worlds Visible
Quantum detectors allow us to see "hidden worlds," from cancer cells to supernovae. As such, novel detectors such as SNSPDs represent an important technological step in the development of optical measurement systems. By waveguide integrating SNSPDs, Pixel Photonics offers an approach to further advance the technological breakthrough.
