Superconducting nanowire single-photon detector with integrated impedance-matching taper

Conventional readout of a superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD) sets an upper bound on the output voltage to be the product of the bias current and the load impedance, I B × Z load , where Z load is limited to 50 Ω in standard r.f. electronics. Here, we break this limit by interfac...
