A manufacturable platform for photonic quantum computing
Koen Alexander, Andrea Bahgat, Avishai Benyamini +92
Whilst holding great promise for low noise, ease of operation and networking, useful photonic quantum computing has been precluded by the need for beyond-state-of-the-art component…
Superconducting-superconducting hybridization for enhancing single-photon detection
Yachin Ivry, Jonathan J. Surick, Maya Barzilay +5
The lack of energy dissipation and abrupt electrical phase transition of superconductors favorite them for nanoscale technologies, including radiation detectors, and quantum techno…
Free space-coupled superconducting nanowire single photon detectors for infrared optical communications
Francesco Bellei, Alyssa P. Cartwright, Adam N. McCaughan +4
This paper describes the construction of a cryostat and an optical system with a free-space coupling efficiency of 56.5% +/- 3.4% to a superconducting nanowire single-photon detect…
Eight-fold signal amplification of a superconducting nanowire single-photon detector using a multiple-avalanche architecture
Qingyuan Zhao, Adam McCaughan, Andrew Dane +6
Superconducting nanowire avalanche single-photon detectors (SNAPs) with n parallel nanowires are advantageous over single-nanowire detectors because their output signal amplitude s…
On-Chip Detection of Entangled Photons by Scalable Integration of Single-Photon Detectors
Faraz Najafi, Jacob Mower, Nicholas Harris +8
Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) have emerged as a scalable platform for complex quantum technologies using photonic and atomic systems. A central goal has been to integrate pho…
