Волноводный сверхпроводниковый однофотонный детектор для фотонного и ионного квантовых процессоров и нейроморфных вычислений
We consider superconducting single-photon detectors, which are the key element of quantum optical
technologies due to their unique characteristics not available in other technologies today. Since the first
demonstration in Russia in 2001, such detectors have evolved significantly and, their waveguide-based
versions are ready for scaling both in the fields of classical technologies (attenuated light) and of
quantum optical applications (non-classical light). The paper studies the operating principle of such
detectors and their main characteristics, analyzes superconducting materials and dielectric waveguide
platforms, highlights the design principles, considers various levels of integration of on-chip waveguide
superconductor detectors, and presents important new areas of application towards the implementation
of photonic and ion quantum processors, as well as energy-efficient neuromorphic computing.
