We are happy to announce the 683rd WE-Heraeus-Seminar on the "Physics and Applications of Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detectors", which we are co-organizing with Tim Bartley (Paderborn), Aleksandr Korneev (Moscow) and Döndü Sahin (Bristol). The 5-day workshop will take place from November 12.-16. 2018 at the Physikzentrum in Bad Honnef (Germany) and is generously supported by the Wilhelm & Else Heraeus Foundation. We will have a very exciting program and invite postdocs and Phd-students to submit abstracts until June 30th!

Welcome Martin Wolff!

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!

Game on!
Game on! Visit us at the Highlights der Physik - Exhibition and test the predictions of quantum theory. Try to generate randomness and we will translate your input into live measurement settings on entangled photons that nature couldn't possibly predict. Who is right: Niels Bohr or Albert Einstein? Find out at booth S9!
