Why Single-Photon Detectors Decide the Fate of Photonic Quantum Computing
Single-photon detectors are the core components where computation becomes visible in photonic quantum computers, dictating their performance and scalability. The field balances high-fidelity cryogenic SNSPDs against more scalable, room-temperature SPADs, with ongoing innovation aiming to bridge their performance gaps.
