Elisabeth Andriantsarazova from the Czech Technical University in Prague once again visits the Integrated Quantum Optics (IQO) Group of Prof. Dr. Christine Silberhorn at Paderborn University to learn how to work with a crystal that generates entangled photons.
In an interview Elisabeth reveals more about her stay at the IQO Group at Paderborn University:

By probing the colour content of photons (single quanta of light) in a quantum-coherent manner, it is possible to examine and exploit complex light systems and quantum correlations in new ways. An important tool in the quantum-rainbow toolbox has recently been demonstrated with individual photons by the Integrated Quantum Optics group, led by Prof. Dr. Christine Silberhorn at Paderborn University.
Regina Kruse successfully defended her Ph.D. thesis "One, Two, Many Modes: Development & Application of High-Dimensional Systems for Quantum Information Science".
Jano Gil López defended his master's thesis titled "Tailoring spatial modes for sum-frequency generation in lithium niobate waveguides". He will pursue his Ph.D in the IQO Group at Paderborn University.
The Integrated Quantum Optics group sent a large contingent to this year’s DPG spring meeting of the Atomic, Molecular, Plasma Physics and Quantum Optics Section (SAMOP) in Mainz. Eight PhD students, five Master students, one postdoc, and one junior professor attended.
