Markov chain Monte Carlo detector tomography applied to a NbTiN nanobridge
We demonstrate the use of a flexible and highly accurate Markov chain Monte Carlo quantum detector tomography method as a minimization algorithm to best describe the response of an efficient 120 nm wide NbTiN superconducting nanobridge single photon detector. Separation of the internal quantum efficiency and external quantum efficiency is possible due to the difference in saturation behavior of an ideal one-photon threshold detector as compared to a detector with non-unity one-photon internal quantum efficiency. From a statistical analysis of our measurements (at T=(4.23 ± 0.01) K, I=(29.4 ± 0.1) μA, I/Iswitch=(0.90 ± 0.01)), we find an external quantum efficiency of η=(1.60 ± 0.05)×10−6, a one-photon internal quantum efficiency of p1=0.568 ± 0.008, and a unity multi-photon (two or more) internal quantum efficiency.
期刊介绍:
Applied Physics Letters (APL) features concise, up-to-date reports on significant new findings in applied physics. Emphasizing rapid dissemination of key data and new physical insights, APL offers prompt publication of new experimental and theoretical papers reporting applications of physics phenomena to all branches of science, engineering, and modern technology.
In addition to regular articles, the journal also publishes invited Fast Track, Perspectives, and in-depth Editorials which report on cutting-edge areas in applied physics.
APL Perspectives are forward-looking invited letters which highlight recent developments or discoveries. Emphasis is placed on very recent developments, potentially disruptive technologies, open questions and possible solutions. They also include a mini-roadmap detailing where the community should direct efforts in order for the phenomena to be viable for application and the challenges associated with meeting that performance threshold. Perspectives are characterized by personal viewpoints and opinions of recognized experts in the field.
Fast Track articles are invited original research articles that report results that are particularly novel and important or provide a significant advancement in an emerging field. Because of the urgency and scientific importance of the work, the peer review process is accelerated. If, during the review process, it becomes apparent that the paper does not meet the Fast Track criterion, it is returned to a normal track.
