Quantum Detection Courses

What are Quantum Detectors?

Quantum sensing uses photon and electron movements to provide an image, instead of other methods like thermal detectors. These options allow us to explore regions previously not accessible to us. 

A growing number of applications require readings from single-photon detectors, allowing the advancement of quantum processing and communication. This level of information processing quantum states can accomplish great things across a variety of fields. Detector technology is getting more sensitive and more advanced—it's only a matter of time before quantum processing is standard.

Quantum states and photon counting can help reveal what's underneath a build site without expensive and dangerous exploratory digging. It's a fascinating way to explore parts of our world.
