NbxTi1–xN Superconducting-Nanowire Single-Photon Detectors

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 ...
