Single-photon detector for quantum entanglement. Microchip containing a single-photon detector made of superconducting nanowires. Four chips like this were used in an experiment that entangled three photons to demonstrate aspects of quantum computing. This image was obtained by the Physical Measurement Laboratory (PML) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Image published in 2014.
