superconducting nanowire single photon detectors

What are the challenges in developing SNSPDs?

Despite their advantages, SNSPDs face several challenges:
- Cryogenic Cooling: The requirement for extremely low temperatures limits their portability and increases operational costs.
- Fabrication Complexity: Producing nanowires with consistent quality and dimensions requires advanced fabrication techniques, which can be costly and time-consuming.
- Scalability: Integrating large arrays of SNSPDs for practical applications is challenging due to the need for precise alignment and control of individual detectors.
