Multi-Pixel Chip
The Chip
Our multi-pixel chip integrates up to 16 pixels onto a single channel, achieving
bandwidths beyond 2.5 GHz and enabling photon number resolution (PNR).
In partnership with the European Space Agency, our multi-pixel chip is setting new
standards for ultra-high-speed quantum key distribution. Together, we are
implementing this technology to achieve secure quantum communication across
terrestrial and space-based networks.
The Design
Built for extreme performance, the chip combines a multi-pixel design with a
single detection channel. It is ideal for advanced telecommunications and deep-
space optical communication.
