Quantum Industries

ID Quantique (IDQ) is a Swiss company centered on quantum-safe encryption, focusing on solutions such as Quantum Random Number Generation (QRNG), Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), and quantum photon detectors. IonQ plans to acquire IDQ.

Quantis Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG)

Random Number Generation: Provides "true quantum randomness" for high-strength keys and security applications. Designed for various applications using cryptography or requiring unpredictable randomness, utilizing simple optical processes to generate true randomness. Offers multiple form factors, from chips to full appliances, and is certified for cost-effectiveness, entropy source security, and reliability.

Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) Systems

▲ IDQ's XG Series is a complete Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) solution portfolio for enterprise, government, and telecom production environments. It provides ultimate quantum security, ensuring "provably secure" key exchange for encryption and other security devices. The XGR Series is an open QKD platform targeted at academia, research institutions, and innovation labs.

Single Photon Quantum Detectors

IDQ offers various detector designs:
Standard: Uses a single SNSPD with a linear nanowire meander structure, delivering overall excellent performance in system detection efficiency, detector noise, and timing precision. Also offers a version using a spiral meander that is polarization-insensitive.
Parallel: Multiple interleaved SNSPD pixels paralleled to a single readout line, providing ultra-high-speed detection and photon-number resolution capabilities. These detectors can accurately distinguish multi-photon states, reaching detection rates up to 200 Mcps in certain scenarios, while retaining the high efficiency, high precision, low noise, and broadband operation characteristics of the IDQ SNSPD series.
Multi-Pixel: Multiple independent SNSPD pixels, each equipped with a readout line, providing faster detection rates (> 1 Gcps) and "dynamic" photon-number resolution (dynamic PNR) that is robust even against longer pulses, while continuing the advantages of the IDQ SNSPD series in efficiency, precision, noise, and broadband operation.
