Introduction

Superconducting nanowire single photon detectors (SNSPD) are an enabling technology for many applications, including tests of fundamental physics, high-precision sensing, quantum communication protocols and tasks in quantum information processing. As such, the demand for SNSPDs in cutting edge science and technology has grown rapidly in recent years. With this seminar we aim at providing a forum for scientists investigating, developing and using SNSPDs in a variety of contexts. With this in mind, the workshop will include more than 20 invited contributions covering the following areas:

  • Working principles and fundamental limits, in particular the role of timing jitter
  • Comparison of different material systems, particularly amorphous versus crystalline thin films, and the potential of high-temperature superconductors
  • Applications and emerging technologies, in particular integration on-chip

On behalf of the organising committee, we look forward to seeing you in Bad Honnef!

Posters

The Foundation can provide spaces for the poster size of A0.
