This breakthrough demonstrates how advanced superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) are enabling large-scale quantum optics experiments capable of detecting gravitational time dilation over 50-kilometer fiber networks. By resolving the saturation bottleneck in heralding systems, this work paves the way for utilizing multi-photon entangled states to test fundamental theories like quantum gravity with greater precision and shorter acquisition times.
