In this talk, I will present the latest results in superconducting single-photon detectors. Superconducting wires have remarkable sensitivity to single-photons and are a reliable and high-performance technology with significant impact on the quantum information research community. However, increasingly applications as diverse as detection of high-energy particles and searches for dark matter are being pursued. Finally, research on these nanowires has permitted their use for basic electronics circuits such as comparators, shift registers, and counters. We will review these and other topics surrounding the development of nanowire single-photon detectors.
