Ice-cold and mu­tu­ally com­pat­ible: re­search on com­bin­ing dif­fer­ent quantum tech­no­lo­gies

Researchers from Paderborn University publish findings in ‘Optica’ Researchers at Paderborn University have demonstrated that ‘spontaneous parametric down-conversion’ – a phenomenon from the field of quantum photonics – is compatible with cryogenic, i.e. extremely cold, operating conditions required for superconducting detectors. Their findings are important for, among other things, applications of quantum optics in integration platforms, e.g.…
