Intrinsic Timing Jitter and Latency in Superconducting Nanowire Single-photon Detectors

We analyze the origin of the intrinsic timing jitter in superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors in terms of fluctuations in the latency of the detector response, which is determined by the microscopic physics of the photon-detection process. We demonstrate that fluctuations in the physical...
