Val Zwiller,
Chief Science Officer, Single Quantum; Professor of Quantum Photonics, KTH Royal Institute of Technology
Val got his PhD from Lund University, Sweden in 2001 on the generation of single photons with quantum dot devices. He was a postdoc at the Humboldt University in Berlin Germany, an assistant at EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerlands, ober-assistant at ETH Zurich in Switzerland before starting his group at TU Delft in the Netherlands in 2005 on single photon technology. Val moved to KTH Stockholm, Sweden in 2015 to lead the Quantum Nano Photonics group as a full professor. Val co-founded Single Quantum BV in 2012 to develop high-performance single photon detectors and Quantum Scopes AB in 2021 to develop quantum instruments. - Title:
- High-Performance Single Photon Detectors
- Description:
-
Single Quantum develops high-performance single photon detectors based on superconducting nanowire single photon detectors. Single photon detection is at the heart of several emerging quantum technologies, optimizing time resolution along with detection efficiency from the visible to the mid-infrared and very low noise. Val Zwiller, Chief Science Officer at Single Quantum, will discuss how his company has implemented these detectors in a range of applications including Lidar, quantum microscopes, and quantum communication experiments.
