Intensity interferometry with optical telescopes and single photon detectors

This project aims to design and manufacture the scientific instrumentation for intensity interferometry observations in the visible wavelength range using the 3.6 m TNG and 10.4 m GTC telescopes, separated by 400 meters, at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory (La Palma). This will allow for a spatial resolution of 80 microarcseconds, marking a global technological milestone and advancing our understanding of the physics of matter under extreme conditions, such as the accretion disks of black holes.
