LA2514C- SETU- RFT for the Supply of a Superconducting Nanowire Single Photon Detector System
CfT CA Unique ID:
LA2514C
Evaluation Mechanism:
Most Economically Advantageous Tender (MEAT)
Description:
South East Technological University (SETU), request the supply of Superconducting Nanowire Single Photon Detector System for use in the development of a national Quantum Communications Infrastructure, IrelandQCI. The vision of IrelandQCI is to build a national quantum communication network that will support an innovative quantum technology ecosystem that will enable and drive the transition from research-based experimental quantum systems and devices to commercialization-ready quantum communication products, solutions and services and lay the ground work for International networks. The SNSPD will play a central role in IrelandQCI and will be used both for lab-based (table-top) experimentation as well as extending the reach of COTS QKD equipment. The SNSPD will require high efficiencies as some experiments will operate over 100km distances. Furthermore, some experiments require a very low jitter and dark counts, 3 class of detector specification A, B, and C have been requested to cover all requirements. The SNSPD MUST have a minimum of 8 channels and SHOULD be expandable to at least 16 channels. 8 detectors are required, with 3 variations in their specification. Furthermore, photon-counting equipment (TCSPC / time-taggers) MUST be provided for at least 8 channels and SHOULD be extendable to 16 channels. Lastly, all the cooling technology required for system operation MUST be supplied.
