Tensor Emerging technology for superconducting strip photon detectors in NICT //

NICT has been conducting research and development of superconducting nano-strip photon detectors for more than 20 years, and the mature technology has been applied to various advanced technologies. R&D on SSPD is still being conducted under various directions for further advancement such as higher operation speed, photon-number resolution, imaging capability and so on. In this presentation, we will introduce recent progress in the development of emerging SSPD-related technologies at NICT. Shigehito Miki received his Ph.D. degree in Kobe University, Japan, in 2002. After three year’s postdoctral researcher experiences, he joined NICT from 2005, where he has since been engaged in the research and development of SSPDs. He is currently a director of superconductive ICT device Laboratory in NICT, in which he is leading the research and development of superconducting electronics devices including superconducting photon detectors, superconducting digital circuits, and superconducting qubits.
