The Single Photon Workshop (SPW) is the largest conference dedicated to the world of single photons, from generation and detection technologies to their applications. This biennial international workshop has become a traditional gathering for a wide range of people from academia, industry, and government interested in single-photon technologies, which are vital to applications such as quantum cryptography, quantum information processing, quantum imaging, and quantum metrology. Fields such as astrophysics, nuclear physics, and biology also benefit from developments in single-photon technologies.
At the 12th edition in Naples, POLIMI researchers presented a poster “Oblong InGaAs/InP SPADs for evanescent waveguide coupling,” outlining an approach that will be exploited in future QPIC1550 phases.
