Since 2008, the Emil Wolf Outstanding Student Paper Competition honours young researchers for outstanding presentations during the Frontiers in Optics + Laser Science (FiO+LS) conference. A prize of USD 300 is awarded in each of seven different categories.

Several researchers from PhoQS took part in this year's FiO+LS, which was held in Denver, Colorado, at the end of October. Federico Pegoraro presented his research on ‘Entanglement Generation and Transport in Time-Multiplexed Two Photon Quantum Walks’. Laura Padberg gave an invited talk entitled ‘Integrated Quantum Photonics in Thin Film Lithium Niobate’. Jonas Lammers applied for the Emil Wolf Outstanding Student Paper Prize with his presentation on ‘Two Photon Tripartite Entanglement Transfer via Time-Multiplexed Quantum Walks’.

In his talk, Lammers presented his research work in the field of so-called two-photon entanglement. Compared to single-photon entanglement, this is much more difficult to generate experimentally, but considered as genuine quantum entanglement and therefore a highly interesting ressource for quantum information applications. By suitably combining these types of entanglement, Lammers and his co-researchers were able to show that single-photon entanglement can also be used for interesting quantum applications and thus offers enormous potential.
With the outstanding presentation of his research work, Jonas Lammers was able to convince the chairmen of FiO+LS and was awarded the Emil Wolf Outstanding Student Paper Prize in the Quantum Electronics – Optical and Quantum Computing category.
