The quantum fluctuations of the inflationary field are currentlyconsidered as the seeds for cosmic structure and their traces are observed in the cosmic radiation background. However, this paradigm faces a conceptual difficulty in that the proposal does not contain any mechanism capable of breaking the homogeneity and isotropy characterizing the primordial (quantum) state of the...

During the last years, Transition-Edge Sensors (TESs) have found an ever more growing number of applications as single photon number resolving detectors in fields as quantum optics [1][2], telecommunication [3][4][5], quantum metrology [6][7][8] and quantum technologies [9].
The most important TES characteristics for the quantum land's inhabitant are the negligible numbers of dark-counts,...
