Next-generation quantum detectors show significant promise in medical applications and beyond
Researchers supported by Transformative Quantum Technologies (TQT) have fabricated quantum detectors with remarkable electrical and optical properties that will advance photodetection across a broad range of applications. Detection of light down to the single photon level opens up new possibilities for various technologies. “When dose monitoring for cancer treatment, we need high sensitivity photon detection […]

Portable Quantum Dot Measurement System
Summary Detecting heavy metals in water is essential to ensure clean drinking water and appropriate regulatory decisions following an accident (e.g., a spill) or an emergency. Traditionally, high-sensitivity detection of heavy metals requires bulky and costly (to purchase and operate) lab-based instruments. We propose developing a palm-sized, element-specific, highly-sensitive, battery-operated, smartphone-controlled system for on-site measurement […]
