Once a year, the University Society awards prizes for outstanding Master's theses as part of the Paderborn University's New Year's reception. Niklas Lamberty was also honoured this year.
Niklas is part of Prof Dr Tim Bartley's "Mesoscopic Quantum Optics" group and, as part of his work there, he succeeded in developing novel cryogenic electronic interfaces to operate a photon number-resolving detector, the control electronics and an integrated optical modulator together in one system at just one Kelvin for the first time in the world.
The successful realisation of this complex hybrid system enables the precise control of quantum states on the basis of a single measurement. Niklas' demonstration of the so-called "feed-forward method" was the fastest measurement of an optical quantum state to date. Not only a new world record, but also an important milestone for the speed of future quantum processors.
We at PhoQS would like to congratulate him on his outstanding master's thesis and are delighted that Niklas is part of our PhoQS - FUTURE graduate programme!
