A nov­el cir­cuitry for quantum photon­ics - Pub­lic­a­tion in Sci­ence Ad­vances about two photons which meet on a single chip

Publication in Science Advances about two photons which meet on a single chip Physicists from the University of Paderborn have for the first time succeeded in realizing the key building blocks of quantum photonics, the full Hong-Ou-Mandel experiment showing the bunching of two single photons on a single chip. This is an important step for establishing the new quantum technology. It is needed e.g. for synchronization of quantum communications,…

Nu­mer­ic­al sim­u­la­tions that go bey­ond the mo­lecu­lar movie: Chem­ic­al bond form­a­tion in real time

A major breakthrough in the measurement and understanding of the electronic structure changes during chemical reactions has been achieved by a team of physicists led by Martin Wolf (Fritz-Haber-Institut Berlin) and Wolf Gero Schmidt (Universität Paderborn). The researchers were able to monitor for the first time the redistribution of electrons during a chemical reaction in real time. The corresponding driving forces and mechanisms could be…

Femto­seconds and Mega­volts al­low the real­iz­a­tion of Wan­ni­er-Stark loc­al­iz­a­tion in Gal­li­um Ar­sen­ide

Scientists from the Universities of Konstanz and Paderborn have succeeded in realizing and proving the so-called Wannier-Stark localization for the first time in a high-purity bulk gallium arsenide crystal manufactured at ETH Zurich. Physicists have overcome hurdles that have long been considered insurmountable in the field of optoelectronics and photonics. With this breakthrough, they have made it into "Nature Communications". Project A02 and…
