The role of Single Quantum
Fast Quantum Ghost Microscopy in the Mid-Infrared
In FastGhost we are developing a ground-breaking quantum imaging system in the mid-IR spectral range. By harnessing the quantum properties of light and developing SNSPDs operating in the mid-IR, we aim for non-invasive imaging and analysis of molecules and biomolecules with unprecedented sensitivity and spatial resolution.
Contributing partners: Fraunhofer Institute (IOF), Friedrich Schiller Universitat Jena (FSU), Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK) and KTH Royal Institute of Technology (KTH).
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 899580.
Superconducting Mass Spectroscopy and Molecule Analysis
In superMaMa, together with our consortium partners, we are developing SNSPDs for mass spectrometry and analysis of lowly charged and neutral high-mass proteins. Our SNSPDs can efficiently detect more than just light particles, in this project, we use SNSPD arrays to detect massive particles such as molecules, proteins, and massive biomolecules.

On-chip Integration of Quantum Electronics and Photonics
In ONCHIPS, together with our consortium partners, we are developing a silicon-based integrated architecture that combines static (electronic) and flying (photonic) qubits on the same chip for future quantum technologies.
The ONCHIPS project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101080022.
Fast-gated Superconducting Nanowire Camera for Multi-functional Optical Tomography
In FastMot, together with our consortium partners, we are developing new optical tomography technologies for imaging deep body structures and monitoring body functions such as oxygenation. By coupling ultra-sensitive and fast SNSPDs arrays with advanced spectroscopy and imaging techniques, we aim to offer an advantageous alternative to existing deep-body functional imaging techniques such as ultrasound, X-ray (including CT), PET, or MRI.
fastMOT is funded by the EU’s HORIZON EUROPE programme under grant agreement number 101099291.
Reconfigurable Superconducting and Photonic Technologies of the Future
In RESPITE, together with our consortium partners, we are developing a multicomponent chip that interfaces SNSPDs arrays with artificial neural networks. By using the SNSPDs arrays as the retina and the artificial neural network as a smart processing unit, we will demonstrate a novel platform that combines vision and recognition on a single chip.

Universal Quantum Connectivity through Multi-Purpose Central Hubs
In UQC-MUCH, together with our consortium partners, we will ramp up multi-user secure quantum networks with multi-channel SNSPD-based detection stations.
The hub will be installed in the Port of Rotterdam, where stakeholders will be able to participate and benefit from an untappable, multi-user quantum network for their critical communication systems.
Quantum Repeaters using On-demand Photonic Entanglement
In Qurope, together with our consortium partners, we are developing telecom quantum repeaters and testing their performance in real-world scenarios. By developing both free-space and fiber-based components we are creating the tools that will enable large-scale and quantum-secure communication.
