The format of SPAD image sensors has expa nded from 8×4 pixels in 2004 to the recent megapixel camera in 2019\, and the applications have literally exploded in the last few years\, with the introduction of proximity sensing and portable telemeters. SPAD image sen sors are today in almost every smartphone and will soon be in every car. T he introduction of Quanta Burst Photography has created a great opportunit y for photon counting cameras\, which are ideally suited for it\, given it s digital nature and speed\; it is however computationally intensive. A so lution to this problem is the use of 3D stacking\, introduced for SPADs in 2015\, where large silicon real estate is now available to host deep-lear ning processors\, neural networks directly on chip\, thus enabling complex processing in situ and reducing the overall power consumption. But the real opportunity is the emergence of a variety of quantum imaging modaliti es\, including ghost imaging\, quantum plenoptic vision\, quantum LiDAR\, to name a few. The talk will conclude with a technical and economic perspe ctive on SPAD imagers and the vision for massively parallel solid-state ph oton counting in scientific and consumer applications.\n\nBio\nEdoardo Ch arbon (SM’00 F’17) received the Diploma from ETH Zurich\, the M.S. fr om the University of California at San Diego\, and the Ph.D. from the Univ ersity of California at Berkeley in 1988\, 1991\, and 1995\, respectively\ , all in electrical engineering and EECS. \n\nHe has consulted with numer ous organizations\, including Bosch\, X-Fab\, Texas Instruments\, Maxim\, Sony\, Agilent\, and the Carlyle Group.
