A research team from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), led by Prof. PAN Jianwei, ZHANG Qiang, and CHEN Kai, in collaboration with CHEN Jingling from Nankai University, has achieved the loophole-free test of Hardy's paradox for the first time.

Researchers from ID Quantique and the University of Geneva have made a significant advancement in superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD) technology. A new 28-pixel parallel SNSPD (P-SNSPD) combines state-of-the-art photon-number resolution (PNR) and ultra-high-speed performance.

Recently, researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) reveals that not all forms of quantum nonlocality guarantee intrinsic randomness. They demonstrated that violating two-input Bell inequalities is both necessary and sufficient for certifying randomness, but this equivalence breaks down in scenarios involving multiple inputs. This finding has been published in Physical Review Letters.

Long at the vanguard of international efforts to answer questions like these, ORNL’s contributions remain strong today. David Radford, head of the lab’s Fundamental Nuclear and Particle Physics section, is an internationally renowned expert in the field who has had an indelible impact on the development of germanium detectors. Vital experimentation tools at the forefront of fundamental physics research, germanium detectors are large, single crystals of germanium — a metallic element — used to detect radiation and enable incredibly precise energy measurements.

Argonne physicists have adapted superconducting nanowire photon detectors to be sensitive and precise high-energy particle detectors.

Introducing the ID Qube ULN (Ultra-Low Noise) in the ID Qube Series: a compact, cost effective and powerful InGaAs/InP SPAD for operations in the NIR region and optimized for Telecom wavelengths.

A new study published in Physical Review Letters on October 22 has challenged the assumptions by providing direct evidence of the breakdown of spin statistics in ion-atom charge exchange collisions. This study was led by scientists from the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).

Scientists at Paderborn University have used a new method to determine the characteristics of optical, i.e. light-based, quantum states. For the first time, they are using certain photon detectors — devices that can detect individual light particles — for so-called homodyne detection. The ability to characterize optical quantum states makes the method an essential tool for quantum information processing. Precise knowledge of the characteristics is important for use in quantum computers, for example. The results have now been published in the specialist journal Optica Quantum.

Multiverse Computing, a global leader in value-based quantum computing, and Single Quantum, the global market leader in superconducting nanowire single photon detectors, have announced an industrial materials science research and development contract with the German Aerospace Center’s DLR Quantum Computing Initiative (DLR QCI for just under USD $1.4 million.
