Description
Summary:Research of superconducting nanowire single- photon detectors （SNSPDs） has been progressing rapidly in recent years. The combined properties of high efficiency, low noise, and fast speed of SNSPDs permit its applications ranging from long-distance quantum teleportation to moon- to-earth optical communications. Here we briefly discussed recent progress of SNSPDs, in particular （1） tungsten- silicide SNSPDs, （2） waveguide-integrated SNSPDs, and （3） a few applied demonstrations.
