# `scintiPulses`

## Overview

The `scintiPulses.py` package simulates pulse signal from a scintillation detector. It implements a quantum illumination function and is parameterized by various parameters to customize the simulation.
The quantum illumination function accounts for shot noise induced by the inhomogeneous Poisson process of fluorescence [1]. Thanks to its faithful description of the scintillation signal, scintiPulse.py can be used to train AI models.
