New Single Photon Detector on Silicon Photonics Platform Charts Path for Highly Integrated Room Temperature Quantum Computer
Artilux, the leader of GeSi (germanium-silicon) photonics technology and pioneer of CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) based SWIR (short-wavelength infrared) single photon detection, announces its collaboration with Dr. Richard A. Soref, a renowned expert widely known as the "father of silicon photonics", to jointly investigate the field of quantum information processing based on the integrated silicon photonics platform. The first result from this collaboration, recently published in APL Quantum titled "Room-temperature photonic quantum computing in integrated silicon photonics with germanium–silicon single-photon avalanche diodes", charts a new path for "cryogenics-free" quantum information processing applications.
