Aurea Technology showcases optical building blocks for quantum technologies

10 January 2022

Aurea Technology is exhibiting advanced optical building blocks required in Quantum technologies at the SPIE Photonics West.

With more than 10 years of experience in quantum optics, Aurea Technology offers a complete suite of high-performance optical modules and instruments for Quantum Communications, Quantum-safe Security, and Quantum Sensing. The fully comprehensive suite of the high-performance optical building blocks from Aurea Technology includes:

Taking advantage of collective quantum effects has enabled the so-called first quantum revolution in the 20th century for technologies such as nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, magnetic resonance imaging, and the development of transistors, LEDs, solar panels, and lasers. Today, amid the second quantum revolution new sensing schemes offer higher sensitivities and better resolution thanks to the possibility to detect and control individual quantum states in microscopic systems like atoms, quantum dots, or color centers.
