  • Ge1-xSnx single photon SACM APDs would allow for the building of a new complete quantum photonics platform with potentially new quantum and classical applications.

    “Ge 1-x Sn x single photon SACM APD's would allow for the building of a new complete quantum photonics platform with potentially new quantum and classical applications [217-219].”

    From 2022 Roadmap on integrated quantum photonics (2022) · cites this paper as [218]

    The conclusion (page unavailable) presents a GeSn laser as a proof of principle for integrating electronic and photonic circuits on a CMOS-compatible platform. It does not discuss GeSn single-photon SACM APDs or claim that they would enable a complete quantum photonics platform. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
