Simulations of photon detection in silicon photomultiplier number-resolving detectors
Number-resolving single photon detectors are essential for the implementation of numerous innovative quantum information schemes. While several number-discriminating techniques have been previously presented, the Silicon Photo-Multiplier (SiPM) detector is a promising candidate due its rather simple integration in optical setups. On the other hand, the photon statistics obtained with the …
