Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors for quantum information
Nanophotonics, 2020 The superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD) is a quantum-limit superconducting optical detector based on the Cooper-pair breaking effect by a single photon, which exhibits a higher detection efficiency, lower dark count rate, higher ...

Jitter analysis of a superconducting nanowire single photon detector
AIP Advances, 2013 Jitter is one of the key parameters for a superconducting nanowire single photon detector (SNSPD). Using an optimized time-correlated single photon counting system for jitter measurement, we extensively studied the dependence of system jitter on the bias

Solve single photon detector problems [PDF]
Quantum, 2023 Single photon detector(SPD) problems arise in most quantum tasks, especially for measuring states going through high-lost channels. They are particularly prominent in quantum key distribution(QKD), which could be the most significant application in ...

Sub pixel resolution using spectral-spatial encoding in x-ray imaging.
PLoS ONE, 2021 PurposePrevious efforts at increasing spatial resolution have relied on decreasing focal spot and or detector element size. Many "super resolution" methods require physical movement of a component of the imaging system.

Characterize the Speed of a Photon-Number-Resolving Superconducting Nanowire Detector
IEEE Photonics Journal, 2020 Superconducting series nanowire single-photon detectors (SNDs) have been used for resolving photon numbers. But it can also exhibit a higher counting rate than a single superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD), because the serial ...

Sequential nonabsorbing microwave single-photon detector
Physical Review Research, 2020 We propose a nonabsorbing microwave single-photon detector that uses an artificial atom as a coherent interaction mediator between a traveling photon and a high-Q resonator, fully exploiting the knowledge of the photon's arrival time. Our proposal can be
