In 2018, the German Research Foundation (DFG) established a large-scale Priority Programme co-ordinated by Paderborn University and entitled ‘Electronic-Photonic Integrated Systems for Ultrafast Signal Processing’.

The German Research Foundation (DFG) is funding a joint project being carried out by Paderborn University, the University of Rostock and Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz that plans to leverage sunlight to make chemical reactions more environmentally friendly.

How can disadvantaged young people more successfully access working life after leaving school? Researchers from the University of Jena and Paderborn University are exploring this issue in their new research project ‘SeiP: Practicing self-promotion – approaches to a self-determined, multimodal competence assessment for young people with disadvantages/disabilities’.

Researchers from Paderborn University publish findings in ‘Optica’ Researchers at Paderborn University have demonstrated that ‘spontaneous parametric down-conversion’ – a phenomenon from the field of quantum photonics – is compatible with cryogenic, i.e. extremely cold, operating conditions required for superconducting detectors. Their findings are important for, among other things, applications of quantum optics in integration platforms, e.g.…

New approaches to teacher training in NRW through research project “InDigO”

Paderborn University physicist Professor Klaus Jöns has been awarded an ‘ERC Starting Grant’ from the European Research Council (ERC) – one of the most prestigious awards in the field of science in Europe.

An international team of leading scientists, headed up by Paderborn physicist Professor Klaus Jöns, has compiled a comprehensive overview of the potential, global outlook, background and frontiers of integrated photonics.

Quantum technologies are a focus of research worldwide, and an indispensable tool for exploring underlying phenomena used in imaging research for the scientific development of quantum communication systems. The German Research Foundation (DFG) has now approved two major instrumentation initiatives to address such applications.
