  • A 0.4-megapixel single-photon camera based on superconducting nanowires has been created.
  • Single photon cameras measure light with unsurpassed sensitivity and speed.
  • Cameras can be used to capture space, measure illumination in photonic quantum computers and communications.
  • Superconducting nanowires can capture each photon and operate at different frequencies.
  • Increasing the size of cameras opens up possibilities for applications in biomedical imaging.
  • Near infrared light is ideal for penetrating human tissue.
  • Silicon-based detectors are not suitable for these frequencies.
  • The team is working with bioimaging teams to tailor the device to their needs.
