A paper about new research show a high-performance #SNSPD, based on a novel parallel design enabling fast, high-efficiency #PhotonNumberResolution (#PNR). This paper also demonstrates how the detector can be used to reconstruct the photon-number statistics of a light source. This technology provides broad applications in #QuantumOptics ranging from photonic #QuantumComputing to improved, heralded, #SinglePhoton sources.
