What makes this possible is a new two-dimensional CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) image sensor, designed by applying its unique design technology and fabricated using the latest manufacturing technologies. In quantitative imaging, the photoelectric noise generated when light is converted into electrical signals is the all-important factor that determines the lower detection limit of the camera. The ORCA-Quest reduces this photoelectric noise to a level below the signals generated by photons (particles of light), which are the minimum unit of light. This makes the ORCA-Quest the world\u2019s first camera to achieve 2D photon number resolving measurement, meaning that it accurately measures the number of photons to create an image. For example, the ORCA-Quest can observe the quantum states of ions and neutral atoms more accurately, making it a promising tool for accelerating research and development of quantum technology for quantum computers and a host of other applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hamamatsu.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/www.hamamatsu.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hamamatsu Photonics has designed and produced a scientific camera called the ORCA\u00ae-Quest qCMOS&#x2122;
