Abstract
Superconducting nanowires are currently a key technology for photon sensing, with key performance metrics exceeding those of most competing technologies. For example, recently detector timing resolution of just 3 ps for single visible photons was demonstrated. In addition, infrared sensitivity has long been a key advantage of these techniques. But the field continues to change rapidly, with interesting architectures emerging that promise increased functionality in the same form factor. For example, imaging, photon-number-resolution, and spectroscopy are all promising directions the field is now pursuing. In this review, I will explain the technology, applications, and background device physics, but also touch on some of the latest new developments.
