First installation, first victory

Valérian Giesz–Uncategorized–June 11, 2018June 12, 2018

We are very happy to share with you that our key product eDelight, a source of highly indistinguishable photons, is now operating in Australia with high photon purity and emission rate of several MHz counts per second!

The group of Prof. Andrew White is the first group to purchase one of our eDelight devices. The team of Quandela carried the device to the University of Queensland and perfectly conducted the installation.
We are very happy to confirm that Quandela’s devices can be implemented in any laboratory and perform like a charm, even if it is across the world!

Prof. Andrew White is a pioneer in optical quantum technologies and we feel honored that our first device will serve his inspirational work.
We enjoyed our stay with his team and we are happy to hear about the exciting projects they have planned with their new device.

We are looking forward to seeing soon new results powered by Quandela!
