About PicoQuant
PicoQuant is a leading research and development company specialized in optoelectronics, founded in 1996 and headquartered in Berlin-Adlershof science and technology park, Germany, as a worldwide leader in single photon counting applications. The company’s products for photon counting include high-end modules for time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) and event timing, single photon sensitive detectors, and specialized analysis software for time-resolved fluorescence measurements and quantum correlations. PicoQuant’s photon counting detectors include photomultiplier tubes (PMT), Hybrid photomultiplier detectors (HPD), and Single Photon Avalanche Diodes (SPAD) covering spectral ranges between UV and NIR with timing resolutions in the picosecond range. The PDM SPAD series covers 400 nm to 1000 nm with better than 50 ps (FWHM) photon timing resolution. PicoQuant’s product portfolio encompasses picosecond pulsed diode lasers, ultra-fast time taggers, photon counters, single photon detectors, time-resolved confocal microscopes, and fluorescence lifetime spectrometers for life sciences, materials sciences, and quantum technologies.
2025 Developments: The company continues to advance its quantum hardware capabilities throughout 2025. Ongoing research and development efforts focus on improving qubit performance and scalability. The organization maintains active collaboration with research institutions and industry partners.
