Please put up your poster in Builiding 61.1-201 during the registration session. This is the area outside the CERN council chamber.
Correlations of photons from entangled quantum sources offer advantages and provide additional opportunities such as low light imaging or new sensing approaches. In general, strong spectro-temporal correlations inherent for entangled photons make those sensing techniques much more precise and resource efficient. To take advantage of the correlations one would need efficient single photon...
In my talk I will cover all aspects related to how an integrated Time-of-Flight sensor is designed and implemented. I will describe all aspects of pixel and sensors architecture in relation to addressing the needs of the application and all the important considerations that need to be made when going from simulation to real world implementation.

Unpredictability is usually perceived with a sense of discomfort. However, when it comes to protecting our digital life, it is essential since all the procedures for authentication, privacy preservation and encryption relies on keys, generated starting by random numbers. Whether algorithmic generation can be practical, it is irreducibly limited to pseudo-randomness by the very same...
Superconducting nanowire detector development has culminated in demonstrations towards a broad range of applications. They are capable of detecting photons (X-ray to far-infrared), low energy electrons, ions and neutral molecules and most recently have been tested for relativistic particle detection. This talk will start with a review of the operating principle of these detectors and how they...
Photons are key enablers across the full spectrum of quantum technologies, including quantum communication and networking, quantum random number generation, and photonic quantum computing. High-performance single-photon detectors, developed using diverse technological approaches, are fundamental to powering these platforms. In this presentation, I will focus on SNSPDs and SPADs, highlighting a...
Driven by advances in manufacturing technologies, microelectronics has evolved significantly over the past decade. Beyond the traditional Moore's Law, microelectronics is becoming increasingly heterogeneous, incorporating concepts developed in part in a “More than Moore” dimension. Above all, it is increasingly understood on a system rather than a chip scale. This evolution emphasizes...
The invention of quantum mechanics is now nearly a century old, and you would have thought that most its applications would have been discovered. Nothing could be further from the truth. This field of research is more active than ever before with most of the attention going to quantum computing: a new form of computing based on the principles of quantum mechanics and is predicted to outperform...
Transition Edge Sensors (TES) are superconducting devices that utilize the sharp transition between superconducting and normal-conducting states to achieve exceptional energy sensitivity. This lecture will explore the physics underlying TES operation, their design principles, and key applications in particle detection and emerging quantum technologies. The session aims to provide participants...
Quantitative CMOS (qCMOS) is a cutting-edge image sensor capable of not only detecting single photons but also resolving their number, making it a powerful tool in advanced photonics. With exceptionally low readout noise and high quantum efficiency, qCMOS has found broad range of applications, including a rapidly expanding role in quantum technologies such as quantum sensing and quantum...
Monolithic pixel sensors integrate the sensing layer and readout electronics on a single silicon substrate, eliminating the need for interconnects and enabling cost-effective production using CMOS technology.
This lecture covers the evolution of monolithic pixel sensors, focusing on key technical challenges in embedding readout electronics and recent advancements. The ALPIDE sensor, used in...
In this presentation, I will provide an overview of our technological advancements and current projects within the quantum field using TPx3/TPX4. Additionally, I will discuss the obstacles we are encountering in the development of quantum technologies, highlight current gaps in the field, and outline the ideal specifications required for future breakthroughs.
The core of a quantum computer or a quantum sensor is generally an array of qubits or quantum detectors and classical electronics for its control; it operates on the qubits/detectors with nanosecond latency and a very low noise. Classical electronics is generally operating at room temperature, however recently, we have proposed that it moves closer to the qubits/detectors and operates at...
