In 2021, the Bristol-based researchers showed how linking a photonics chip with a separate electronics chip may increase the speed of quantum light detectors. Now, with a single electronic-photonic integrated chip, the team have further increased speed by a factor of ten whilst reducing footprint by a factor of 50.
