NIST Demonstrates 100x SNSPD Width Scaling to Unblock Quantum Network and Photonic Manufacturing Bottlenecks

August 26, 2026Quantum Computing ReportQuantum Industry

NIST researchers made superconducting single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) 100 times wider, up to 0.1 mm, using a magnetic shielding design and active current control; SNSPDs are devices that catch single particles of light. Wider detectors can ease making parts f
