Potential applications include optical communications and quantum cryptography.
Superconducting- nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) in which NbxTi1–xN (where x<1) films serve as the superconducting materials have shown promise as superior alternatives to previously developed SNSPDs in which NbN films serve as the superconducting materials. SNSPDs have potential utility in optical communications and quantum cryptography
