Featured products:

ORCA-Quest IQ

Introducing the ORCA‑Quest IQ qCMOS camera: a drop‑in replacement for EMCCD, delivering high-sensitivity and low read noise for fluorescence‑based qubit state detection in trapped ion and neutral atom systems. Come visit our booth to learn how the ORCA‑Quest IQ integrates with ARTIQ for synchronized quantum control and imaging.

ORCA Quest 2

The ORCA-Quest 2, the latest evolution in our qCMOS camera line, builds upon the excellence of its predecessor with enhanced performance. It features faster readout speeds in ultra-low-noise scan mode and increased sensitivity in the ultraviolet spectrum—ideal for detecting UV fluorescence from trapped ions.

The fiber coupled SPAD module C16534-050GD is compact and suitable for integration in quantum devices and systems. Customizations include but not limited to gain adjustments and higher overvoltage which results in higher PDE and higher dark count rate (DCR) as a tradeoff. 

ORCA-Fire scientific camera

Since the early development of trapped-ion quantum computers in the 1990s, our photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) have been a trusted solution for detecting faint ion fluorescence. The H10682 photon counting head is the gold standard for high-sensitivity, low-noise photon counting of Yb trapped ion fluorescence, offering both fiber-coupled and free-space options for seamless integration into quantum applications.

LCOS-SLM (optical phase modulator)

The LCOS-SLM is a reflective spatial light modulator that freely controls the phase of light with a liquid crystal. Controlling the phase (wavefront) with LCOS-SLM enables researchers to generate a highly efficient optical microtrap array to confine neutral atoms. 

Our MPPC modules offer high gain (~10⁶), efficient 650nm photon detection for NV fluorescence, a wide dynamic range, and a superior signal-to-noise ratio for weak, high-speed signals. With an integrated amplifier and power supply, they provide a seamless plug-and-play solution.

Our SPAD modules offer high photon detection efficiency at 493nm for barium ion fluorescence, low dark count rates, and flexible free-space or fiber-coupled options—ideal for VIS trapped ion qubit detection and quantum networking. Customization is available to meet project needs.

 

Discover NKT Photonics solutions, including single‑frequency Koheras fiber lasers for gate addressing, cooling, and trapping in trapped ion and neutral atom quantum computers.

Optically pumped magnetometer (OPM)

An optically pumped magnetometer (OPM) is a highly sensitive device designed to measure magnetic fields with extraordinary precision, down to fT levels. A compact module operated at room temperature, our OPM has a low surface temperature of 40 deg. C. It can be customized to suite specific application needs.

Product launch is expected around November 2026.
