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.
Are you interested in joining us on our journey to provide world-class high-
performing single quantum detectors for quantum, medical and research
applications? Please do not hesitate to send your application!
