Quantum sensing techniques offer significant advantages in the low-energy detection regime and show strong potential for sub-picosecond timing applications. In the context of the Future Circular Collider (FCC), expanding the excellent single-photon resolution demonstrated by Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detectors (SNSPDs) to charged particles, would open the door to applications such...
Superconducting Nanowire Single Photon Detectors (SNSPDs) are a leading detector technology for single-photon detection with diverse applications, due to their ultra-low energy threshold of below 0.04~eV, low dark counts of 10^-5~Hz, and pico-second level time resolution. Recent advancement in the fabrication of large area superconducting microwire single photon detectors (SMSPDs) make them an...
