Who should attend?

Technologists looking for an introduction to a new field and networking
Experienced engineers or technicians听in a related field looking for an introduction
听 鈥Researchers seeking a better understanding of and expressing measurement results听

鈥淭his is one of the best educational investments I have made.鈥
Eva Yao

Topics to include:


Detectors

PMTs, SPADs, SNSPDs, TESs (if you don鈥檛 know the acronyms, come to the course!) How do we define detection efficiency? What is detector tomography?


Sources

Down conversion, quantum dots, nitrogen vacancies. What鈥檚 the difference between a single photon source and simply 鈥榝aint light鈥?


Measurements and use cases

Detection efficiency, photon number, dark counts, jitter, dark counts.听What is 鈥榮pooky action at a distance鈥? What does a calibration report tell me?


Engineering

Cryogenics, optics, optical fibers and optimization, statistics and uncertainty
