superconducting nanowire single photon detectors (snspds)

What are the challenges associated with SNSPDs?

Despite their advantages, SNSPDs face several challenges:
- Cryogenic Cooling: SNSPDs require operation at cryogenic temperatures, necessitating complex and costly cooling systems.
- Fabrication Complexity: The fabrication of SNSPDs involves intricate nanofabrication techniques to create uniform and defect-free nanowires.
- Scalability: Integrating large arrays of SNSPDs for applications like imaging can be challenging due to the need for precise alignment and readout electronics.
