ID Quantique (IDQ) are honored to be winners of the Laser World of Photonics 2022 Innovation Award, in the Quantum Technologies category. Across six categories, IDQ’s ultrafast and PNR superconducting nanowire detectors have been recognized as a breakthrough in single-photon measurement. These detectors are propelling users to the next level of research in quantum light … Continue reading
Quantum Relays are an exciting technology, enabling long-haul quantum communication without the need for trusted-node intermediaries. They also expand the algorithmic repertoire available for distributed quantum computing. In this workshop, Dr. Martin Felle explores some of the schemes for building a quantum relay, including the necessary components and sub-systems. In addition, he will discuss some … Continue reading
Distributed temperature sensing (DTS) is a great technology for monitoring temperature profiles in structures sensitive to material bulk and/or electrical fields, such as aircraft wings or high-energy particle detectors. Read the results of this latest collaboration between ID Quantique (IDQ) and HEPIA, a photon-counting Raman-based OTDR scheme. In this work, an arrangement of ultra-precise ID281 … Continue reading
Philtec recently performed calibration tests on their sensors, using different target materials supplied by their customers. Calibrations were made to 4 different metal targets without adjusting the gain output control. Only the SNR control was varied to 3-4 volts max to optimize the signal for each target. The four targets were: Dull Metal: A dull … Continue reading
Philtec produces threaded tips in a variety of lengths and sizes. Some are easy to machine, while others are very difficult. Any diameter thread with a long length is more difficult. Read Philtec Application Note No. 73 to see Philtec’s Table of Standard Minimum Thread Sizes for Sensor Tips. This table shows standard threads with standard lengths … Continue reading
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 photonic Bell state measurements in a quantum relay, correlation function measurements are a … Continue reading
