Sheffield, UK, July 23, 2025 - Aegig, a leading photonic quantum computing company, and Pixel Photonics, a pioneering single.photon detection company, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to bring their technologiestogether on a shared photonic platform. The collaboration will combine Aegio's single-photon sources with PixelPhotonics' waveguide-integrated superconducting nanowire detectors (WI-SNSPDs).

This marks an important step towards building a scalable and practical quantum computing stack, where high-performance photon detection is key to making real-world quantum applications possible.

Aegig takes a modular approach to building a quantum computer offering customers a path to rapid scale andcommercial usaae. The company reliably creates photons on demand at GHz clock speeds, routes these through itsprocessors, and finally detects and measures them - all in telecom wavelengths.

Pixel Photonics' single-photon detectors combine seamless photonic platform integration with exceptionalperformance and scalability. Their uniaue waveguide-intearation approach offers the performance and scalability required for enabling advanced applications in quantum and beyond.

This collaboration combines Aegiq's on-demand telecom photon sources with Pixel Photonics' unique detectortechnology. By bringing these technologies together, we are unlocking quantum computing at scale." said ScottDufferwiel, CEO at Aegiq

"Pixel Photonics' detectors are designed to seamlessly integrate with photonic platforms," said Nicolai Walter, CEOat Pixel Photonics. "Our high-performance wavequide-integrated devices are highly scalable and align perfectlywith Aegig plans to deliver reliable photonic quantum computing at scale."

This partnershio between Aedio and Pixel Photonics is pavina the wav for transformative advancements in auantumtechnology, combining their expertise and innovation to overcome current challenges and unlock new possibilitiesfor scalable,real-world quantum systems.
