Objective
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. 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. Our technology builds on world-leading in-house expertise on quantum optics and nanofabrication, and exclusively licensed patents from NBI in Copenhagen. QTOOL objective is fine-tuning and demonstrating a set of key single-photon products. They will enable researchers in Photonic Quantum Technologies to carry out their research in faster, cheaper, and better ways, and enable technologies and components that are impossible with any currently available light sources.
