Single Quantum

We're excited to be exhibiting at Methods and Applications in Fluorescence (MAF) 2026! Join Single Quantum at Booth 10 to discover how superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) are advancing fluorescence microscopy and bio-imaging. 🔬   We'll be showcasing PicoQuant ’s confocal microscope integrated with a Single Quantum R12 SNSPD system, demonstrating how cutting-edge single-photon detection enhances time-resolved fluorescence and bio-imaging workflows.   🔺 High detection efficiency across the visible (VIS), near-infrared (NIR), and short-wave infrared (SWIR) spectral ranges, enabling high-quality fluorescence imaging. 🔺 Ultra-low dark count rates for exceptional signal-to-noise performance, allowing detection of even the weakest fluorescence signals. 🔺 <15 ps timing resolution, ideal for NIR/SWIR fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM), and other time-resolved microscopy techniques. 🔺 Deep-tissue imaging capabilities by leveraging optical windows around 1000 nm, 1400 nm, and 1900 nm.   Our Lead Application Engineer, Hein Zijlstra, will be at the conference throughout the event and look forward to discussing how SNSPD technology can support your fluorescence imaging research.   📍 Booth 10 🗓️ 9–12 August 2026 📍 Mærsk Tower, University of Copenhagen   We look forward to meeting the MAF community and discussing the future of single-photon detection in life sciences!   #SingleQuantum #MAF #QuantumOptics #QuantumTechnology #SNSPD #SinglePhotonDetection #Imaging

Single Quantum was awarded a new grant through the first Holland High Tech SME Defence Call as part of the CryoKiQQer project, in collaboration with TNO. 🧡 CryoKiQQer is one of 12 projects selected from a highly competitive call to advance dual-use technologies that strengthen the technological autonomy and resilience of the Netherlands and Europe. Together with TNO, we will develop a proof-of-concept cryogenically integrated platform combining  superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) and entangled-photon pair generators to advance next-generation terrestrial and space quantum communication. 📡 The project highlights the value of close collaboration between industry and research organizations in accelerating innovation and translating cutting-edge quantum technologies into practical solutions. We look forward to working with TNO and contributing to the success of CryoKiQQer. 🔗 Read more: https://lnkd.in/gEaD_JDU #SingleQuantum #TNO #QuantumTechnology #SNSPD #Photonics #QuantumInnovation #DualUse #HollandHighTech #DefenceInnovation 

Single Quantum is contributing to European Space Agency - ESA's SAGA mission 🐺 , helping advance Europe's next generation of quantum-secure communications. SAGA aims to demonstrate space-based Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), enabling the secure distribution of cryptographic keys between space and ground while supporting the future European Quantum Communication Infrastructure (EuroQCI). By leveraging the principles of quantum mechanics, any attempt to intercept the key exchange becomes immediately detectable, providing a fundamentally new level of communication security. 🛰️🔒 At the heart of every QKD system is the reliable detection of single photons. Single Quantum's superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) combine high detection efficiency, ultra-low dark count rates, and exceptional timing resolution—performance that is essential for maximizing key generation rates and maintaining secure quantum links over long distances. We're excited to collaborate with ESA and the outstanding SAGA consortium to help advance quantum technologies from the laboratory into resilient, real-world infrastructure. Together, we're building the future of secure communications. 📄Read more: https://lnkd.in/eSfSESEw #SingleQuantum #ESA #SAGA #QuantumCommunication #QKD #QuantumTechnology #SNSPD #EuroQCI #Cybersecurity #Photonics

Our annual company outing had us quite literally stuck in the mud, and we loved every minute of it! 🌞 Last week, the Single Quantum team headed to the North Holland coast for a day of adventure, teamwork, and great company. We explored the Wadden Sea on a mudflat walk, balancing our way across the seabed while taking in the beautiful weather, spotting seals 🦭, and enjoying the unique wildlife along the way. It was equal parts challenging, muddy, and fun! After refuelling with classic kibbeling and patat, we returned to Delft for team-building activities, followed by a relaxed dinner together. Building technology capable of detecting photons at the quantum limit takes collaboration across every part of our company. Days like these prove that the strongest teams are built on more than just work projects. The connections, laughter, and shared experiences outside the lab help us achieve even more together inside it. As some SQers head off for a well-deserved break, we'd like to wish everyone a wonderful summer filled with sunshine and great memories! 

Congratulations to QuiX Quantum on the launch of Carina, the world's first universal photonic quantum computing architecture for customer deployment! 🎉    Carina brings together the key building blocks for a universal, deployable photonic quantum computer, representing an important step toward scalable quantum computing outside the laboratory.    We're proud that Single Quantum's rack-mountable SNSPDs contribute to this achievement. High-performance single-photon detection is essential for photonic quantum computing, enabling the precise and reliable measurements required by advanced photonic quantum architectures.    Congratulations to the entire QuiX Quantum team and all project partners on this exciting step. We look forward to seeing Carina drive the next generation of photonic quantum technologies. 📰 Read here the full press release https://lnkd.in/dQedkkEd 👇 Download the white paper here https://lnkd.in/dCzxJsEK   #QuixQuantum #SingleQuantum #QuantumComputing #Photonics #SNSPD #SinglePhotonDetection #QuantumTechnology #PhotonicQuantumComputing #Innovation

Congratulations to prof. Philip Walther and co-authors on their recent publication, "50-km Fiber Interferometer for Testing Gravitational Signatures in Quantum Interference." 👏 The team demonstrated a 50 km single-photon fiber interferometer with the sensitivity required to resolve gravity-induced phase shifts in a tabletop experiment, an important milestone for quantum sensing and precision measurements. Single Quantum's multi-pixel SNSPD system was used as the heralding detector for the photon-pair source. By supporting heralding count rates approaching 40 MHz, it enabled higher photon fluxes, shorter acquisition times, and reduced long-term stability requirements for the interferometer, despite the significant losses accumulated over 50 km of fiber. "The combination of high count-rate capability, robustness, and ease of use made the Single Quantum platform an important component in realizing this large-scale quantum optics experiment." Congratulations to everyone on the outstanding achievement. We're proud that Single Quantum's technology could contribute to research applications that push the boundaries physics, and we're excited to see where these discoveries lead next! 📄Read the paper: https://lnkd.in/eFx87EZM #SingleQuantum #SNSPD #QuantumTechnology #QuantumScience #Photonics #QuantumOptics
