Single Quantum is a private company focused on single-photon detection. Its website says it was founded in 2012 and was among the first to manufacture and commercialize superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs). The company states that it has more than 10 years of experience and that its multi-channel Single Quantum Eos photon detection system has been selected by more than 400 academic and industrial labs.
The company’s offerings are centered on SNSPD-based products and technology. Its site lists product lines including the Excellence line, TeleQKD line, Imaging line, and SNSPD camera, and describes systems with over 90% efficiency and timing resolution below 15 ps. The website also links its detectors to quantum networking, quantum communications, and quantum information processing, indicating clear relevance to the quantum-technology ecosystem as a supplier of detector components.
