Abstract :
‘QVD’ detectors are based on thermoelectric heat-to-voltage (Q→V) conversion and digital (V→D) readout. In theory, they are competitive with superconducting tunnel junction detectors and transition edge sensor devices. We analyze the performance of the QVD detectors with different design architectures. It is concluded that the detectors with lanthanum–cerium hexaboride sensors can be very fast: up to 100 MHz counting rates for UV photons. In addition to traditional astrophysical applications, these detectors can be applied to the tasks of quantum computing and communication.
