Excellence in European research

FastGhost

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).

SuperMaMa

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.
