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.
Check the current access route ↗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.QubitWire coverage
