Superconducting single-photon detectors : how the best performance can transform applications

Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPD) are almost perfect devices for detecting light at the single-photon level. These detectors have recently been playing key roles in the evolution of some high-profile quantum technologies such as quantum cryptography and quantum computers. At IDQ, we develop and manufacture such detectors and contribute to the global effort in this field, both in academic and private entities. I will review our technology and some applications.

Speaker

Félix Bussières, VP Research and Technology at ID Quantique
Félix Bussières and his team are responsible for the development of IDQ’s core technologies and for key innovative projects. He joined IDQ in Geneva in 2016 and he now leads several innovation activities related to the development of single-photon detectors, quantum random number generators and quantum key distribution. Félix’s main motivation is to build teams that have deep impact in our society through carefully designed products with a high technological value
