TRR 142 - Maßgeschneiderte nichtlineare Photonik: Von grundlegenden Konzepten zu funktionellen Strukturen
Natural and artificial crystals often exhibit the ability to change the spectral color of light, a process known as nonlinear optical effect. This effect allows the frequency of a light component to be changed and transformed, for example, from the red to the green color spectral region.
Color conversion is used in numerous applications, such as nonlinear microscopy of biological structures, material investigations, LED light sources and lasers,…
In episode 4, Prof. Dr. Thomas Zentgraf, head of the Ultrafast Nanophotonics group and Principal Investigator of three projects within the TRR 142, explains what Ultrafast Nanophysics has to do with holography.
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.
This year's DPG Spring Conference in the sections atoms, molecules, quantum optics and photonics (SAMOP) takes place from 05 to 10 March 2023 in Hanover. Numerous researchers of the TRR 142 present their latest research.
Frau Dr. Sonja Barkhofen, Alumna des TRR 142 und Gruppenleiterin in der AG Integrierte Quantenoptik, hat am 24.11.2022 erfolgreich ihr Habilitationsverfahren bestanden und am 18.01.2023 die Lehrbefugnis erhalten.
After two years of contributing with videos to the virtual meetings, this year Hendrik Rose could finally go to San Francisco and present a talk at the SPIE Photonics West.
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. The physicist begins her three-year term as a member of Germany’s highest-ranking science policy advisory body on 1 February.
Dr. Hendrik Rose and Prof. Dr. Torsten Meier are giving presenations at the SPIE Photonics West which takes place from 28 January to 01 Februar 2023 in San Francisco. They present their latest research:

TRR 142 - Maßgeschneiderte nichtlineare Photonik: Von grundlegenden Konzepten zu funktionellen Strukturen
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“.
On Thursday, 2 February, at 5 pm, a galactic event will take place in lecture hall O1 at the University of Paderborn: In his lecture, Dr. Hubert Zitt from the University of Kaiserslautern will compare the visions of "Star Trek" with the current state of science and technology in a serious and at the same time humorous way.
Der 13. Theorieworkshop der jDPG findet in der Jugendherberge Wewelsburg statt. Studierende und Doktoranden erhalten während einer mehrtägigen Veranstaltung detaillierte Einblicke in einen Forschungsbereich. Zum diesjährigen Thema "Quanteninformation" hält Prof. Dr. Jan Sperling einen Vortrag über "Quantenverschränkung".
Scientific exchange and mutual presentation of project results were reason enough for around 80 members of TRR 142 to meet for the second workshop this year on November 28th and 29th, 2022 in Bad Sassendorf.
On 10 November 22, the young researchers of TRR 142-3 came together for a doctorate’s meeting in the P8 building at UPB. Welcomed by Christine Silberhorn and Dirk Waldhoff, they could take a closer look into possible career paths in and outside academia and discussed the needs and possibilities on their way towards the PhD.
Dirk Waldhoff and the coach/trainer Uta Stiene presented the especially tailored future coaching programme “Female…
The world needs more energy, preferably in a form that is clean and renewable. This requires sophisticated energy-storage strategies that go beyond the presently used lithium-ion batteries. In this context, there is an intense search for new electrode materials that provide high working voltages, thermal stability, and energy densities, as well as fast ion (de)intercalation.
The world is just about to leap into quantum technology 2.0, promising a performance boost for existing and completely new functionalities and devices.

TRR 142 - Maßgeschneiderte nichtlineare Photonik: Von grundlegenden Konzepten zu funktionellen Strukturen
In September, the annual conference of the German Physical Society (DPG) with a focus on condensed matter physics and optics with more than 3000 participants took place in Regensburg. The groups of the TRR142 were represented with an impressive number of more than 20 oral and poster contributions of which three were invited talks.
Dr. Tobias Henksmeier, PostDoc in the team for optoelectronic materials and components of Prof. Dr. Dirk Reuter, has received one of the three awards for the best poster of the section for condensed matter.
