About
Photon Force is an Edinburgh-based company that develops high-performance single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) arrays and time-resolved imaging solutions for quantum sensing and photonics applications. Founded as a spinout from Heriot-Watt University and the University of Edinburgh, it commercializes SPAD sensor technology that enables photon-counting detection with picosecond timing resolution. Photon Force's sensors serve quantum key distribution, quantum imaging, LIDAR, fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM), and quantum communication systems. The company supplies enabling components for photonic quantum computing, quantum networking, and quantum sensing systems that require single-photon detection.
