High-speed and high-efficiency superconducting nanowire single photon detector array

High-speed and high-efficiency superconducting nanowire single photon detector array

Superconducting nanowire single photon detectors (SNSPDs) have separately demonstrated high efficiency, low noise, and extremely high speed when detecting single photons. However, achieving all of these simultaneously has been limited by detector subtleties and tradeoffs. Here, we report an SNSPD sy...
