It’s time to look back on our achievements and highlights after the first 12 months of the fastMOT project! In the months following our kick-off meeting in April 2023, we have already seen some encouraging early results, from promising tests and experiments to our first publications and presentations. All[…]

Last week, the fastMOT consortium held its second in-person meeting at the Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO) in Castelldefels, a coastal suburb of Barcelona. The gathering brought together all partners of the project to welcome new staff members, foster team cohesion, and tackle critical discussions regarding the project’s detector[…]

Since their first demonstration in 2001 [Gol’tsman et al., Appl. Phys. Lett. 79, 705–707 (2001)], superconducting-nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) have witnessed two decades of great developments. SNSPDs are the detector of choice in most modern quantum optics experiments and are slowly finding their way into other photon-starved fields of optics. Until now,[…]

We are happy to share that researchers from our team have represented our project at the Optica Biophotonics Congress: Biomedical Optics from 7-10 April 2024 at Fort Lauderdale, USA, and took the opportunity to meetup. Find out more about their presentations at https://fastmot.eu/publications/
