MODEL RELEASED. Photon detection. Researcher adjusting NanoSQUID (nanoscale superconducting quantum interference device) apparatus. This apparatus contains a thin piece of superconducting material that changes temperature slightly when it is hit by a photon. This change is detected by the NanoSQUID. The detection of single photons has an application in quantum key distribution,which uses photons and the principle of entanglement to securely encrypt and transmit data.
