Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detector With a System Detection Efficiency Over 80% at 940-nm Wavelength

Implementations of quantum information require single-photon detectors (SPDs) with high detection efficiency (DE) at a wavelength of 940 nm, which is a challenge for the available semiconducting SPDs. Superconducting nanowire SPDs (SNSPDs) are capable of detecting visible and near-infrared single ph...
