Superconducting nanowire single photon detectors for high-rate quantum communication

Matthieu Perrenoud

The important development of quantum technologies during the past decade brought the need for efficient, fast and precise single-photon detection. Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detectors (SNSPDs) are currently considered as the detection method of choice when extreme performances are required. This thesis aimed at investigating this technology, with the objective of improving existing detectors for high-rate applications in quantum communication. This document presents the work and result achieved over four years dedicated to the subject. During this thesis, single-photon detection based on superconducting nanowire has been investigated, with a particular focus on specific requirements for high speed quantum communication applications. The work achieved ranges from the design and nano-fabrication of the structures, to the characterization and the understanding of the physics, detection models and fundamental limits of the devices.

Recent developments in single-photon detection with superconducting nanowires (Conference Presentation)

Karl K. Berggren

Superconducting nanowires are currently a key technology for photon sensing, with key performance metrics exceeding those of most competing technologies. For example, recently detector timing resolution of just 3 ps for single visible photons was demonstrated. In addition, infrared sensitivity has long been a key advantage of these techniques. But the field continues to change rapidly, with interesting architectures emerging that promise increased functionality in the same form factor. For example, imaging, photon-number-resolution, and spectroscopy are all promising directions the field is now pursuing. In this review, I will explain the technology, applications, and background device physics, but also touch on some of the latest new developments.
