Researchers from Paderborn University are involved in the ‘Quantum Secure Networks Partnership’ project (QSNP). The joint goal of more than 40 partners from science and industry is highly secure data transfer, achieved using quantum cryptography. The project, which is been funded by the EU for a period of three and a half years with a budget of 25 million euros, launched on 1 March. The topic of data security is becoming increasingly important…

Scientists at Paderborn University are pleased with well-attended laboratory tours.

This year's ICALP conference will be held in Paderborn, Germany, July 10-14. Registration is now possible.

Am 14. April findet der diesjährige World Quantum Day statt – eine internationale Initiative, die das öffentliche Verständnis von Quantenwissenschaften und -technologien fördern soll. Das Institut für Photonische Quantensysteme (PhoQS) der Universität Paderborn lädt aus diesem Anlass zu einem vielfältigen Programm aus Online- und Vor-Ort-Aktivitäten ein. Alle Interessierten sind herzlich willkommen – die Teilnahme ist kostenlos, eine Anmeldung…

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“.
