Type of article: Article

Summary

The authors review the limitations of the different approaches proposed for realizing superconducting photon detectors. The structure and operation of a new quantum superconducting kinetic inductance detector (QSKID) with a SQUID readout circuit is described. The QSKID is made from a superconducting loop where the photosignals are generated in response to photoinduced changes in the condensate's kinetic inductance. The QSKID operates in the zero-resistance superconducting state, thereby circumventing Johnson noise.
