Single-Shot Quantum Nondemolition Detection of Individual Itinerant Microwave Photons

Single-photon detection is an essential component in many experiments in quantum optics, but it remains challenging in the microwave domain. We realize a quantum nondemolition detector for propagating microwave photons and characterize its performance using a single-photon source. To this aim, we im...
