In our new paper, to appear in the IEEE Jornal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics (JSTQE), we have demonstrated fully-saturated nanowire single-photon detectors with 24 ps jitter. Furthermore we show an improved fabrication process that allowed us to increase...

[preprint] [supp. info.] We reported that the superconducting properties scale universally close to the superconducting-to-insulating transition in thin films. This universal behavior was found useful not only for the fundamental understanding of superconductivity...

[pdf] [abstract] Superconducting nanowire avalanche single-photon detectors (SNAPs) with n parallel nanowires are advantageous over single-nanowire detectors because their output signal amplitude scales linearly with n. However, the SNAP architecture has not been...

We design and fabricate superconducting nanowire single photon detectors (SNSPDs). SNSPDs are appropriate for many applications because they have low jitter, a fast reset time and good sensitivity to infrared light. Thus, we are working on several research projects to...
