Simone's review on waveguide-integrated superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPD) was published in Nanophotonics. Check out the open access article for all you ever wanted to know about SNSPD integrated with nanophotonic devices.
Jun.-Prof. N. Guggenberger of Münster's Institute for Information, Telecommunication and Media Law (ITM) and the RWTÜV-Stiftung invite for an event discussing opportunities, legislation and regulation of Blockchain technology on November 7th at Erbdrostenhof Münster. We will also be discussing how quantum technology could affect Blockchain implementations: register here!

Visit us at the "Highlights der Physik" science fair from September 19.-23. on Münster's Schlossplatz!
In collaboration with The Institute of Photonic Sciences - ICFO (Barcelona, Spain) and qutools GmbH (Munich, Germany) we are presenting an interactive experiment where you can test the predictions of quantum physics yourself!
We are looking for a new PhD candidate to work on nanophotonics and superconducting single-photon detectors: check out our Jobs section and apply before September 3rd!
The AG Schuck achieves eternal glory at the "Physicists Feud"! Congratulations Philip, René, Rene, Matthias and our guest star Wolfram on winning the cup!
Philip receives his own funding from the PROMOS program of the DAAD (German academic exchange service) for traveling to a summer school. Congratulations!
PhD-Position and Master-Thesis projects avaialble!
We have openings for a PhD-Position and Master-Thesis projects. The PhD-work will be concerned with waveguide-coupled superconducting single-photon detectors and nano-photonic quantum circuits. Candidates are strongly encouraged to apply for Open PhD Fellowships from the Graduate School "Molecules and Interfaces" (GSMI). The application deadline is April 30, 2017. Several Master-Thesis projects are available both for physics and Lehramt/didactics students. Check out our Jobs section and contact us!
Discussing quantum computing at the Institute for Information, Telecommunication and Media Law (ITM)
Carsten speaks at the ITM (Faculty of law) about how quantum computers affect IT-security. Thank you Prof. N. Guggenberger for the invitation and the interesting discussion across faculty boundaries!
Jun.-Prof. Doris Reiter and Jun.-Prof. Carsten Schuck give their inaugural lectures at the Department Colloquium.
Doris presents her work on "Ultrafast optics in nano-structured solids" and
Carsten speaks about "Integrated Quantum Photonics on Silicon Chips".
During a visit to ASML Inc. Carsten meets with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, Dutch Minister of Education, Culture and Science Jet Bussemaker, German Secretary of State Dr. Georg Schütte and fellow physicist & German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Our observation of quantum interference on a silicon chip is on the cover of the Yale Scientific
