    Brief

    This tender seeks qualified suppliers to provide, deliver, install, and commission a Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) interferometer for the Bernal Institute at the University of Limerick. The HOM interferometer measures the indistinguishability of single-photon light sources, which is essential for quantum technologies including quantum communications and quantum computing applications. The equipment will function as an add-on module integrated with an existing PicoQuant Microtime200 time-resolved photoluminescent microscope system located in laboratory MSB-022. Suppliers should have expertise in optical and precision equipment, with demonstrated experience in quantum optics systems, photon interference measurement devices, and installation of complex scientific instrumentation. The successful supplier will be responsible for complete project delivery including supply of equipment, transportation to the University of Limerick campus in Ireland, professional installation, system commissioning, and verification that the HOM interferometer operates correctly with the existing microscope system.
