SuperDetectorPy is a program used to simulate current-carrying thin-film type-ii superconductors, such as superconducting single-photon detectors. It is able to:

• Simulate IV curves in general geometries and investigate the current crowding effect.
• Investigate the effect of applied magnetic field on superconductors.

Please refer to the documentation for information on how to get started with SuperDetectorPy.

A video demonstrating how to get started is available on KTH play.

Documentation is available on Read the Docs.
