What it does. Where it fits.
Superconducting nanowire detectors with cryogenic cooling and room-temperature driver electronics.
Who should look closer
Teams that need low-noise photon counting and can accommodate cryogenic equipment and periodic maintenance.
QubitWire’s editorial assessment of practical fit.Configured detector systems
Specification and pricing are arranged with the supplier. Eos packages include cooling and electronics; maintenance requirements should be included in procurement.
Check the current access route ↗What has been demonstrated
A Vienna-led study operated a 248 km fiber link using Single Quantum detectors. Its roughly 38 ps timing figure includes detector and time-tagger contributions; it is not a standalone detector specification.
What remains unresolved
Detection efficiency, timing jitter and count-rate limits depend on configuration. The cited network result measures a complete experimental setup and does not independently validate every current detector specification.
The next question to watch
Can a specified detector configuration sustain required efficiency and timing at the application’s actual count rate and maintenance cycle?
A research question, not a promised milestone.QubitWire coverage

Sources & evidence
- Single Quantum Excellence Line ↗Organization-originated source · Publication date not stated
Eos products combine detector channels, closed-cycle cooling and driver electronics. The supplier documents rackmount R12/R48 options, remote control and cold-head/compressor maintenance intervals.
- Single Quantum detector add-ons ↗Organization-originated source · Publication date not stated
Documents gating, timing stabilization and a TTL converter for integration with measurement electronics. Published performance figures are supplier specifications.
- Continuous entanglement distribution over a transnational 248 km fiber link ↗External source (may be a collaborator) · 17 Oct 2022
Vienna researchers used Single Quantum detectors and Swabian time taggers in a 248 km deployed-fiber experiment. They report about 38 ps combined detector/timing jitter; the approximately 80% detector efficiency is explicitly manufacturer-supplied.
- Single Quantum product overview ↗Organization-originated source · Publication date not stated
Offers superconducting nanowire photon detection across research, QKD and imaging product lines with supplier-assisted specification selection.
