Abstract

Photon-pair generation rate through a silicon photon-pair source is measured by InGaAs single-photon detector and superconducting nanowire detector, showing 240 times higher coincidence count than InGaAs detector. A high coincidence-to-accidental ratio of 524 is achieved.

Ultra-high-rate detection of entangled photon pairs

Toshimori Honjo, Shigeyuki Miyajima, Shigehito Miki +5 more

The high-rate detection of entangled photons is essential for advancing photonic quantum information processing. Although several experimental demonstrations have been reported, the achievable coincidence rates have so far remained limited. One of the main bottlenecks arises from the dead time of single-photon detectors, which constrains coincidence detection at high photon-pair generation rates. In this work, we employ 16-pixel superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) to mitigate the impact of detector dead time. Consequently, we achieve coincidence rates exceeding 3 million counts per second (Mcps) in two-photon interference and CHSH inequality experiments using a 5-GHz clocked sequential time-bin entangled photon pair source. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of multi-Mcps coincidence detection of entangled photons, paving the way for high-speed entangled-photon-based quantum information processing.

High repetition rate correlated photon pair generation in integrated silicon nanowires

Xiang Zhang, Bryn A. Bell, Mark D. Pelusi +6 more

Integrated single-photon sources are a key component for photonic quantum technology but are generally limited to low single-photon rates. For sources based on photon pair generation by four-wave mixing, increasing the repetition rate of pump laser pulses is a straightforward way to enhance the single-photon rate, but the benefits and practical limitations have not yet been demonstrated and analyzed in a CMOS-compatible platform. In this work, we demonstrate correlated photon pair generation in integrated silicon nanowires and systematically analyze the count rate and coincidence to accidental ratio as the pump rate is varied between 156.25 MHz and 10 GHz. We show that the highest useful pump rate is limited by the timing resolution of the single-photon detection system, and that in this regime, the nonlinear loss of the silicon nanowire does not have a significant effect on the single-photon generation.

Characterize the Speed of a Photon-Number-Resolving Superconducting Nanowire Detector

Tao Xu, Hao Hao, Xiang Li +8 more

Superconducting series nanowire single-photon detectors (SNDs) have been used for resolving photon numbers. But it can also exhibit a higher counting rate than a single superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD), because the serial architecture allows multiple detectors working in parallel and the inductance of each pixel is reduced. In this paper, we found each pixel of the SND could reset fast although the whole detector took a much longer time for recovering. Therefore, the speed of an SND with a large kinetic inductance of 1.25 μH was characterized and compared to a standard SNSPD with the same total inductance. By measuring the detected photon rate over the input photon rate, we obtained a photon counting rate enhancement by 7.5 times. Meanwhile, the timing jitter of the SND was 63 ps at single photon detection regime. Our results show that the series structure and the readout scheme are quite practical in realizing high speed single-photon detectors besides resolving photon numbers.

We experimentally demonstrate a 10 times enhancement to the coincidence-to-accidental ratio of a correlated photon-pair source from a chalcogenide Ge11.5As24Se64.5 nanowire. This improvement is enabled by the low-Raman window of the device.

Photon-number-resolving superconducting nanowire detectors

F. Mattioli, Zili Zhou, Alessandro Gaggero +6 more

Abstract In recent years, photon-number-resolving (PNR) detectors have attracted great interest, mainly because they can play a key role in diverse application fields. A PNR detector with a large dynamic range would represent an ideal photon detector, bringing the linear response of conventional analogue detectors down to the single-photon level. Several technologies, such as InGaAs single photon avalanche detectors (SPADs), arrays of silicon photomultipliers, InGaAs SPADs with self-differencing circuits and transition edge sensors have shown photon number resolving capability. Superconducting nanowires provide free-running single-photon sensitivity from visible to mid-infrared frequencies, low dark counts, excellent timing resolution (<60 ps) and short dead time (∼10 ns), at an easily accessible temperature (2–3 K), but they do not inherently resolve the photon number. In this framework, PNR detectors based on arrays of superconducting nanowires have been proposed. In this article we describe a number of methods and device configurations that have been pursued to obtain PNR capability using superconducting nanowire detectors.

Low noise superconducting single photon detectors on silicon

Sander N. Dorenbos, Elisabeth Reiger, Umberto Perinetti +3 more

We have fabricated superconducting nanowire single photon detectors made of NbTiN on a silicon substrate. This type of material reduces the dark count rate by a factor of 10 compared to identical NbN detectors, enabling single photon detection with unprecedented signal to noise ratio: we report a noise equivalent power of 10−19 W Hz−1/2 at 4.2 K. The compatibility of our superconducting device with silicon enables its integration with complex structures.
