  • Abstract
    Achieving photon-number-resolution using superconducting nanowire single photon detectors (SNSPDs) can enable high-speed source characterization and high-rate conditional state preparation. We report improved fidelity photon-number-resolution using high system-detection-efficiency four-element SNSPDs.
