TECHNOLOGY & ACCESS

What it does. Where it fits.

Time-tagging electronics for photon counting and digital-signal measurements.

Who should look closer

Optics laboratories building photon-counting or timing measurements.

QubitWire’s editorial assessment of practical fit.

Commercial instruments and maintained software

Time Tagger models have different precision and throughput; supported APIs include Python, C++, MATLAB, LabVIEW and .NET.

DOCUMENTED EVIDENCE

What has been demonstrated

A 2026 external paper uses Time Tagger Ultra to acquire photon events and conditionally gated counts; a September vendor-hosted LAAS account adds a separate photon-pair application.

What remains unresolved

Timestamp resolution and RMS timing precision differ. Detectors, signal thresholds and synchronization also constrain measurement accuracy.

The next question to watch

Independent comparisons of complete acquisition-chain uncertainty and sustained throughput.

A research question, not a promised milestone.
