Commercialising novel detector technology since 2007 and making it accessible to all.

At Quantum Detectors the mission is simple but important: Since 2007 we have been taking novel detector technology developed at world leading scientific facilities and making it accessible to all. This ensures best use of the original time and investment in developing these products, and most importantly, supplies scientists globally with the tools required to drive research forward and try new technology for new science.

Quantum Detectors is a spinout from the Science and Technology Facilities Council and Diamond Light Source, the UK’s synchrotron. These partners have an excellent internationally acclaimed track record in the development of both detection technology and turnkey detector systems. Quantum Detectors is registered as a UK limited company – 05575019.
