Abstract
A photon detector which uses a superconducting material to detect photons of a specific frequency. The superconducting material is kept in its superconducting state so that resistance in the material does not appear, but incident photons produce a detectable magnetic field within the superconducting material. Sensing this magnetic field in the superconducting in its superconducting state allows for the detection of photons.
