报告摘要：
CMOS SPADs have appeared in 2003 and soon have risen ?to the status of image sensors with the creation of deep-submicron ?SPAD technology. The format of these image sensors has expanded from ?8x4 pixels of our first LIDAR in 2004 to 512x512 pixels of recent ?time-resolved cameras, and the applications have literally exploded in ?the last three years, with the introduction of proximity sensing and ?portable telemeters. The current promise is that SPAD based sensors ?will be in every smartphone by 2018 and in every car by 2022. ?Recently, a new phase has emerged for SPAD technology as an interface ?to quantum processors, due to SPAD sensitivity and the capability of ?operating normally at cryogenic temperatures. I will conclude with a ?technical and economic perspective on SPADs and SPAD imagers, and a ?vision for SPADs and other cryo-CMOS circuits in quantum computing.

报告人简介：
Edoardo Charbon (SM’00 F’17) received the Diploma from ?ETH Zurich, the M.S. from the University of California at San Diego, ?and the Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley in 1988, ?1991, and 1995, respectively, all in electrical engineering and EECS. ?He has consulted with numerous organizations, including Bosch, X-Fab, ?Texas Instruments, Maxim, Sony, Agilent, and the Carlyle Group. He was ?with Cadence Design Systems from 1995 to 2000, where he was the ?Architect of the company's initiative on information hiding for ?intellectual property protection. In 2000, he joined Canesta Inc., as ?the Chief Architect, where he led the development of wireless 3-D CMOS ?image sensors. Since 2002 he has been a member of the faculty of EPFL, ?where is a full professor since 2015. From 2008 to 2016 he was with ?Delft University of Technology’s as Chair of VLSI design. He has been ?the driving force behind the creation of deep-submicron CMOS SPAD ?technology, which is mass-produced since 2015 and is present in ?telemeters, proximity sensors, and medical diagnostics tools. His ?interests span from 3-D vision, LiDAR, FLIM, FCS, NIROT to ?super-resolution microscopy, time-resolved Raman spectroscopy, and ?cryo-CMOS circuits and systems for quantum computing. He has authored ?or co-authored over 300 papers and two books, and he holds 21 patents. ?Dr. Charbon is a distinguished visiting scholar of the W. M. Keck ?Institute for Space at Caltech, a fellow of the Kavli Institute of ?Nanoscience Delft, a distinguished lecturer of the IEEE Photonics ?Society, and a fellow of the IEEE.
