About our Team

The Single‑Photon Group at Heriot‑Watt has a long‑standing track record in researching ground‑breaking single photon detection and applications in quantum communications and single‑photon imaging. With single‑photon avalanche diode (SPAD) detectors, we initiated and led collaborations to produce the first custom‑designed InGaAs/InP single‑photon avalanche diode detector (2006), first strained layer SiGe SPAD (2002), and custom‑designed Ge‑on‑Si SPAD (2013), and first planar Ge‑on‑Si SPAD (2018).

In quantum communications systems: work in the field led to a then world record transmission distance quantum key distribution system (2001); first demonstration of a quantum key distribution system operating at GHz clock‑rate over an optical fibre link (2004); the first experimental ...
