- Abstract: Photon Number Resolving Detectors (PNRDs) are devices capable of measuring the number of photons present in an incident optical beam, enabling light sources to be measured and characterized at the quantum level. In this paper, we explore the performance and design considerations of a linearly multiplexed photon number-resolving single-photon detector array, integrated on a single mode waveguide. Our investigation focus on defining and analyzing the fidelity of such an array under various conditions and proposing practical designs for its implementation. Through theoretical analysis and numerical simulations, we show how propagation losses and dark counts may have a strong impact on the performance of the system and highlight the importance of mitigating these effects in practical implementations.

Integrated arrays of Superconducting Nanowire Single Photon Detectors (SNSPDs) have shown capabilities such as Photon Number Resolution, single photon imaging and coincidences detection.
The growing complexity of such applications requires the use of multiplexing schemes for the simultaneous readout of different detectors.
A simple multiplexing scheme can be realized by arranging a series of SNSPDs elements, shunted by appropriate resistances.

Multi-photon interference is at the heart of photonic quantum technologies.

We show how time-resolved detection of non-ideal photons can be used to improve the fidelity of an entangling operation and to mitigate the reduction of computational complexity in boson sampling experiments.

We show that the single-photon detection fidelity increases with the length of the metamaterial to approach one at experimentally realistic lengths.
In stark contrast to conventional photon detectors operating in the optical domain, the photon is not destroyed by the detection and the photon wavepacket is minimally disturbed.
