Abstract

Single-photon detection impacts a broad range of applications ranging from the secure transfer of information for banking and communication, to quantum radar for national defense, assistance in search and rescue missions, to biomedical applications such as in dose monitoring for cancer treatment as well as in non-invasive imaging of the eye, to diagnose potentially blinding diseases. In these applications, high efficiency detection at the single-photon level with precise timing resolution is required. In this talk I will present a new type of quantum sensor based on a semiconductor nanowire array that detects light over an unprecedented wavelength range, from the UV to near-infrared with high speed and timing resolution, all while operating at room temperature. I will illuminate how our nanostructure is uniquely shaped to achieve near-unity efficiency over the entire wavelength range, and show how we can extend the wavelength detection range to the infrared and beyond.
