The cohort of companies and researchers working on a broad variety of technologies quantum information processing has grown dramatically in recent years. Novel research in the field of quantum photonics, in particular, is exciting and is seeing an increase in the number and scope of applications. In this talk I will give some background on Quantum Opus as a leader in providing advanced photon detection systems for research markets, including a state-of-the-art view of Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detector (SNSPD) technologies, cryogenic and electro-optic developments, and what we see as the significant emerging quantum and non-quantum markets for superconducting photon detectors. These new markets include free-space communication, medical applications, and atmospheric sensing. Additionally I will explain some of the ways in which we have successfully balanced research with commercial product development through grants, collaborations, and joint commercial developments.
