Quantum information technology heavily relies on the use of qubits implemented with single photons. In order to accurately utilize these qubits, it is essential to determine the number of photons involved. Photon-number-resolving detectors (PNRDs) are crucial for achieving this accuracy, providing two main performance indicators: resolving fidelity and dynamic range. Superconducting nanostrip single-photon detectors, or
