Single Quantum multi-channel SNSPD system can detect single photons with over 90% efficiency and ultra-high timing resolution of less than 15 ps.

The detection principle is based on the transition of a nanowire from the superconductive to the resistive state upon the absorption of a single photon. The detectors are pigtailed with an optical fiber and operated in a closed-cycle cryostat at 2.5 Kelvin. The design enables continuous operation for up to 10,000 hours and requires no liquid helium consumption. This makes it a turn-key solution for optical measurements.

The system is designed for the most demanding optical applications, such as quantum information technology, quantum networking and QKD, infrared time-resolved spectroscopy, imaging and LiDAR.

" Single Quantum Eos system has allowed our research group to explore unchartered territories in the field of quantum information science. Its state-of-the-art timing resolution enabled the realization and characterization of a new and important class of quantum coherence phenomena. Additionally, the significant detection efficiencies have greatly reduced the time needed to acquire meaningful data, mitigating some of the burden associated with conducting sensitive measurements. " Dr. Steven Rogers / Prof. Qiang Lin, University of Rochester

Working with Single Quantum systems has a big advantage: not only you operate with a state-of-the-art device, very much user friendly, but you can count on the persistent support of a team of highly trained professionals. Dr. Simone Portalupi, University of Stuttgart

"Single Quantum devices are a fine product, simple to install, and reliable, we are very pleased with their performance. One of my favourite aspects of the units is that they can maintain high efficiencies even at considerably high detected rates. Before using them, I had never seen ~100 MHz detected rates! That’s quite impressive.." Dr. Juan Loredo, University of Vienna
