Prof. Dr. Thomas Zentgraf

Phys­i­cist from Pader­born among the world­wide highly cited re­search­ers

Clarivate Analytics, known for their internet platform Web-of-Science, announces the Highly Cited Researchers List 2018, a list of elite scientists and social scientists identified through analysis of highly cited papers (those ranking in the top 1% by citations for field and year). This year, for the first time, Clarivate Analytics has introduced a new Cross-Field category to identify researchers with substantial influence across several fields…

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…

From: Nature Communications (2018) 9:2890, DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-05229-x: GaAs-Wannier-Stark-localization

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…

An in­ter­face for dis­sim­il­ar quantum sys­tems

Prof. Dr. Christine Silberhorn and her team (University of Paderborn) recently demonstrated the first device that combines frequency conversion with high efficiency and bandwidth compression of single photons. The device, which is based on non-linear waveguides in Lithium Niobate manufactured in the group in Paderborn, allows to adapt photons from sources in the telecom range to atomic systems in the visible and near-infrared spectrum, paving the…
