Counting magnetic flux quanta offers new way to measure photon numbers

What's happening
SignalsMonitor is following this as a technology story. Phys.org Breaking News is the outlet attached so far. The first report grouped here was at 23 Oct 2026, 21:20 UTC. The headline in use is “Counting magnetic flux quanta offers new way to measure photon numbers”. This note is SignalsMonitor's own briefing, not the publisher's article.
What we know
Researchers at AIST have directly observed magnetic flux quanta generated in a superconductor by photon absorption and demonstrated a new principle of photon detection that identifies the number of photons based on the number of these flux quanta.
