Modelling efficient Superconducting nanowire single photon detectors for Mid wave infrared photons

Abstract

In quantum optics, loss of a single photon is irreplaceable quantum information destroyed. Simulations of waveguide cavity superconducting nanowire single photon detectors at mid-wave infrared wavelengths present near unity efficiencies and state-of-the-art jitter times.
