Introduction

Despite monumental advancements in IT, our computers remain very inefficient in solving many of the most crucial and complex challenges we are facing. This is the vision of Quantum Technologies, and one of the most promising platforms is based on single quantum particles of light, i.e., single photons.

Breakthrough in Single-Photon Technology

So far, high-fidelity single-photon sources were not commercially available until Sparrow Quantum (SQ) introduced its beta-version single-photon chip, the world's first commercially available single-photon light source.

Expertise and Innovation

Our technology builds on world-leading in-house expertise in quantum optics and nanofabrication, along with exclusively licensed patents from NBI in Copenhagen.

Objectives of QTOOL

The objective of QTOOL is to fine-tune and demonstrate a set of key single-photon products. These products will:

  1. Enable researchers in Photonic Quantum Technologies to carry out their research in faster, cheaper, and better ways.
  2. Facilitate technologies and components that are impossible with any currently available light sources.
