Fano fluctuations in superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors
A. G. Kozorezov, C. Lambert, F. Marsili +6
Because of their universal nature, Fano fluctuations are expected to influence the response of superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs). We predict that photon cou…
Hotspot Relaxation Dynamics in a Current Carrying Superconductor
F. Marsili, M. J. Stevens, A. Kozorezov +11
We experimentally studied the dynamics of optically excited hotspots in current carrying WSi superconducting nanowires as a function of bias current, bath temperature and excitatio…
High-efficiency WSi superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors operating at 2.5 K
V. B. Verma, B. Korzh, F. Bussières +7
We investigate the operation of WSi superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) at 2.5 K, a temperature which is ~ 70 % of the superconducting transition temperature…
High-efficiency WSi superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors for quantum state engineering in the near infrared
H. Le Jeannic, V. B. Verma, A. Cavaillès +6
We report on high-efficiency superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors based on amorphous WSi and optimized at 1064 nm. At an operating temperature of 1.8 K, we demonstrated…
Optical synthesis of large-amplitude squeezed coherent-state superpositions with minimal resources
K. Huang, H. Le Jeannic, J. Ruaudel +10
We propose and experimentally realize a novel versatile protocol that allows the quantum state engineering of heralded optical coherent-state superpositions. This scheme relies on…
Superconducting parallel nanowire detector with photon number resolving functionality
F. Marsili, D. Bitauld, A. Fiore +9
We present a new photon number resolving detector (PNR), the Parallel Nanowire Detector (PND), which uses spatial multiplexing on a subwavelength scale to provide a single electric…
