Quantum Opus, LLC develops superconducting nanowire single-photon detector technology. Its website presents the company’s Opus One™ as a turnkey single-photon detection system and also describes custom superconducting nanowire solutions, including multi-element architectures, detectors integrated onto photonic circuits, and mid-infrared configurations.
The company says it was founded in 2013 after Aaron Miller and Josh Cassada identified a commercial need for ultra-sensitive light sensors and began initial fabrication at the University of Michigan. On its about page, Quantum Opus describes itself as a Michigan company rooted in the Midwest. Its homepage states that its photon detection equipment is used by institutions including NASA, NIST, Fermilab, Sandia National Laboratories, and Argonne National Laboratory, and it highlights applications spanning quantum science, microscopy, and deep-space communication.
