About This Webinar
Quantum technology, an exciting and evolving field combining physics and engineering, applies the properties of quantum mechanics to next-generation computing applications. It has the potential to fundamentally change the limits of classical computers as we know today.
This webinar will begin with an overview of quantum technology, including a brief history of its origin and development. The discussion will also include emerging practical applications for quantum technology. The webinar’s main focus will be on quantum applications that incorporate imaging detectors such as single photon source development, trapped ion imaging, and control of qubits. The webinar will also cover the following topics:
- Unique detector requirements for quantum research.
- Latest developments in photonic detectors including silicon-based CCD, scientific CMOS, intensified CCDs (ICCDs), and the new generation of InGaAs detectors for shortwave infrared (SWIR, 900-1700nm) range.
- Basic concepts of single photon detection, quantum efficiency, and detector noise.
