Photonics project from DARPA seeks to break quantum-noise limit

February 07, 2025

ARLINGTON, Va. The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) launched what it named the Intensity-Squeezed Photonic Integration for Revolutionary Detectors (INSPIRED) program that has as its goal to develop compact, cost-effective optical detectors that can operate at unprecedented sensitivities, enabling optical signals previously buried in quantum noise to be clearly detected.
