Request for tender: Procurement of two superconducting nanowire photon detectors

Description of goods

At the department Quantum Technology, Chalmers University of Technology, we are a group working on quantum nano photonics. We fabricate small devices with optical, mechanical and superconducing components which work best at very low temperatures. We are looking to acquire two Superconducting Nanowire Single Photon detectors (SNSPDs) for experiments in quantum optics. The SNSPDs will be placed in our local dilution refrigerator.

Confidentiality and the freedom of information principle

After the procurement has been terminated the principle of public access to official records applies. This means that all documents related to the procurement process become public and may be disclosed to anyone who requests access to them. Exceptions may only be made if there is any specific reason to believe that the Tenderer may suffer damage if the information is disclosed.

If you have information that you feel is of such nature, your tender shall include precise details of which information should remain confidential, and how you would suffer damage in case of the public disclosure of this information. Chalmers will evaluate your request and determine whether confidentiality in accordance with Swedish law may be deemed to apply.
