Radiation hardness study of superconducting detectors and electronics - NASA

ESI23 Berggren Quadchart Karl Berggren Massachusetts Institute of Technology Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) are a promising new ultra-sensitive and low-noise detectors for applications ranging from deep-space exploration to ultrafast space-based optical quantum communication networks. Their susceptibility to damage from the high-radiation environments found in space is not yet understood. Professor Berggren and his team […]
