Abstract

A photon detection device having a high light detection efficiency. The photon detection device includes a first light reception part which receives a gate signal and outputs a first signal; a second light reception part which receives a gate signal and outputs a second signal; and a determination part which determines whether or not a photon is received, on the basis of the first signal from the first light reception part and the second signal from the second light reception part. The photon is incident on the first light reception part among the first light reception part and the second light reception part, and the breakdown voltage of the second light reception part is higher than the breakdown voltage of the first light reception part.
