The Focus Session organized by Ilya Akimov (TU Dortmund University) and Torsten Meier (Paderborn University) with invited and submitted presentations attracted great attention.

Quantum technologies provide the amazing perspective to boost progress in communication, quantum computing or cryptography. Their advantage is based on utilizing the laws of quantum mechanics instead of classical physics which open up the possibility to implement highly efficient quantum algorithms, so the quantumness of a system becomes a valuable resource. However, the number of available quantum systems is large and quantifying the actual…

As part of the qp-tech.edu project, an online workshop on quantum technologies was held on February 14.

With three projects, PhoQS is involved in the Quantum Technologies Flagship. The European Commission recently reported on the first successes of the cooperation initiative.

Im Rahmen der Veranstaltungsreihe Gründen aus technischen Fakultäten informiert u²t Photonics AG-Gründer Andreas Umbach über seinen Gründungsweg.

Paderborn University's Computer science department is organizing a workshop on quantum technologies for industrial partners.

Congratulations to Dr. Hendrik Rose for receiving the Best Student Paper Award at SPIE Photonics West 2023 for his outstanding research work.

The Federal President of Germany Dr. Frank-Walter Steinmeier has appointed Professor Christine Silberhorn, Head of the Institute for Photonic Quantum Systems and holder of the Chair of Integrated Quantum Optics at Paderborn University, to the German Science and Humanities Council.

In a recent publication, PhoQS researchers demonstrate temporal control of superconducting nanowire single photon detectors (SNSPDs) - and achieve detection advantages.

Dr Hendrik Rose has been awarded a prize for his outstanding dissertation “Theoretical Analysis of the Interaction between Semiconductor Nanostructures and Quantum Light: From Single Pulses to Four-Wave Mixing“.

Anlässlich der diesjährigen Nobelpreisverleihung veranstalteten Wissenschaftler*innen der Universität Paderborn am vergangenen Samstag ein Abendkolloquium. Die Vorlesungsreihe stieß auf großes Interesse.

Die Physikerin Prof. Dr. Lingling Huang hat den renommierten Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel-Forschungspreis der Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung erhalten. Nominiert wurde sie von dem Paderborner Physiker Prof. Dr. Thomas Zentgraf.

Wissenschaftler*innen des PhoQS nehmen den diesjährigen Nobelpreis zum Anlass, die Grundprinzipien der Quantenphysik auf anschauliche Weise zu erklären und darüber hinaus die Relevanz von Quantenforschung aufzuzeigen.
