Distributed Quantum Computing in Silicon
Photonic Inc, :, Francis Afzal +69
Commercially impactful quantum algorithms such as quantum chemistry and Shor's algorithm require a number of qubits and gates far beyond the capacity of any existing quantum proces…
Waveguide Integrated Superconducting Single Photon Detectors Implemented as Coherent Perfect Absorbers
Mohsen K. Akhlaghi, Ellen Schelew, Jeff F. Young
At the core of an ideal single photon detector is an active material that ideally absorbs and converts photons to discriminable electronic signals. A large active material volume f…
Efficient Single Photon Absorption by Optimized Superconducting Nanowire Geometries
Mohsen K. Akhlaghi, Haig Atikian, Jeff F. Young +2
We report on simulation results that shows optimum photon absorption by superconducting nanowires can happen at a fill-factor that is much less than 100%. We also present experimen…
Reduced Dark Counts in Optimized Geometries for Superconducting Nanowire Single photon Detectors
Mohsen K. Akhlaghi, Haig Atikian, Amin Eftekharian +2
We have experimentally compared the critical current, dark count rate and photo-response of 100nm wide superconducting nanowires with different bend designs. Enhanced critical curr…
Gated Mode Superconducting Nanowire Single Photon Detectors
Mohsen K. Akhlaghi, A. Hamed Majedi
Single Photon Detectors (SPD) are fundamental to quantum optics and quantum information. Superconducting Nanowire SPDs (SNSPD) [1] provide high performance in terms of quantum effi…
Nonlinearity in Single Photon Detection: Modeling and Quantum Tomography
Mohsen K. Akhlaghi, A. Hamed Majedi, Jeff S. Lundeen
Single Photon Detectors are integral to quantum optics and quantum information. Superconducting Nanowire based detectors exhibit new levels of performance, but have no accepted qua…
Controlling a superconducting nanowire single-photon detector using tailored bright illumination
Lars Lydersen, Mohsen K. Akhlaghi, A. Hamed Majedi +2
We experimentally demonstrate that a superconducting nanowire single-photon detector is deterministically controllable by bright illumination. We found that bright light can tempor…
