Push the limit of your application to new heights with Swiss-made SNSPDs, combining high detection efficiency, low jitter, low noise and short recovery time. The detectors (from 2 up to 16) are integrated … Continue reading
ID Quantique (IDQ) is sharing its latest use case about a Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) experiment. The equipment setup included the ID281 SNSPD, a simple polarization-based QKD system designed for long distance and to cope with high losses. A Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detector (SNSPD) is a near-infrared and optical single-photon detector, based on a current-biased … Continue reading
ID Quantique (IDQ) has launched the ID Qube Series, a compact and cost-effective series of modules for single-photon detection at telecom wavelengths. Modular and versatile, the ID Qube series is therefore a comprehensive range of detectors designed to meet the requirements of photon counting applications. Some of these applications include quantum communications & Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), … Continue reading
The quantum computer is a game changer. Its arrival signals a paradigm shift in computing, bringing significant benefits & threats. The differentiation between generations of classical computers was based on the size of the processing unit and the speed of each elementary operation. For theoretical computer science, Eniac, the first computer based on vacuum tubes … Continue reading
Since its inception, the technology transfer office of the Université de Genève, Unitec, has demonstrated an instrumental role in transferring technologies from the laboratory towards the marketplace by working with start-up companies as well as existing companies in Switzerland, Europe and the rest of the world. On the occasion of its 20th anniversary, Unitec has awarded … Continue reading
The Internet of Things (IoT) plays an increasingly important role in the critical infrastructure of both nations and organisations. Worldwide spending on IoT is expected to reach $1.2 trillion in 2022. ID Quantique’s white paper, entitled “Why Quantum Technologies Matter in Critical Infrastructure and IoT”, explores the increasing role of IoT in critical infrastructure and how … Continue reading
