Toward single-photon detection with superconducting niobium diselenide nanowires

Pietro Metuh, Athanasios Paralikis, Paweł Wyborski +9

We present superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) based on few-layer NbSe${}_2$ fully encapsulated with hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), demonstrating single-photon…
