Imperfect photon detection in quantum illumination
F. Kronowetter, M. Würth, W. Utschick +2
In quantum illumination, various detection schemes have been proposed for harnessing remaining quantum correlations of the entanglement-based resource state. To this date, the only…
Optimizing the growth conditions of Al mirrors for superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors
R. Flaschmann, C. Schmid, L. Zugliani +9
We investigate the growth conditions for thin (less than 200 nm) sputtered aluminum (Al) films. These coatings are needed for various applications, e.g. for advanced manufacturing…
Site-Selective Enhancement of Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detectors via Local Helium Ion Irradiation
Stefan Strohauer, Fabian Wietschorke, Lucio Zugliani +9
Achieving homogeneous performance metrics between nominally identical pixels is challenging for the operation of arrays of superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs)…
