Problem

Current optical communication, quantum computing, and secure data transmission methods are limited by the efficiency of single-photon detection, impacting data rates and security. Existing technologies struggle to effectively detect individual photons, hindering advancements in quantum networks and encryption.

Solution

Munich Quantum Instruments (MQI) develops superconducting single-photon detectors (SSPDs) designed to enhance the detection of individual photons. MQI's SSPDs enable higher data rates in optical communication, making them suitable for deep space optical communication (DSOC) and connecting Earth and the Moon. In quantum computing, the detectors facilitate the creation, manipulation, and detection of qubits made of single photons, improving computing power and accuracy. Furthermore, MQI's detectors play a crucial role in quantum key distribution (QKD), enhancing the security of data communication schemes against quantum computing threats.
