Optical and near-IR Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors, or MKIDs, are superconducting photon counting detectors capable of measuring the energy and arrival time of individual OIR photons without read noise or dark current. In this whitepaper we will discuss the current status of OIR MKIDs and MKID-based instruments.

  1. Differentiable design of the PIAA-ZWFS: a flexible wavefront sensor that approaches the fundamental limit

    astro-ph.IM 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    The PIAA-ZWFS, optimized with differentiable modeling and Bayesian design, closes the gap to the fundamental wavefront sensing limit by a factor of 10 versus conventional ZWFS in photon-limited simulations.
