AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing technologies struggle to accurately distinguish the number of photons on a single superconducting nanowire single-photon detector, especially since single-photon and multi-photon response signals are difficult to differentiate, leading to a decrease in the fidelity of photon number resolution.

Method used

By connecting a series inductor in a superconducting nanowire single-photon detector, the photon number resolution capability is enhanced. The photon number is determined by the rise time or rise slope of the response pulse. Accurate photon number resolution is achieved by combining the readout circuit and the pulse time measurement device.

Benefits of technology

High-fidelity photon number resolution was achieved on a single superconducting nanowire single-photon detector, with a simple structure, easy implementation, and low cost.
