New Pub­lic­a­tion from Fre­derik Thiele

In our publication, we explored a technique to operate an SNSPD all-optically at cryogenic temperatures. SNSPDs are superconducting single-photon detectors required for quantum optical measurements. Cryogenic operation temperatures are needed for these single photon sensitive devices. Typically, superconducting detectors are operated in a cryostat. Coaxial cables are then used to transmit power and signals between the cryogenic detector and the…

New pub­lic­a­tion from Nina Lange

In our paper, we demonstrate the generation of degenerate photon pairs from spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) in titanium-indiffused waveguides in lithium niobate at cryogenic temperatures. We characterize the indistinguishability of our photons with a Hong-Ou-Mandel interference measurement. We show sufficient understanding and control of the cryogenic nonlinear process, which has wider implications when combining quasi-phase-matched…

MQO at Quantum 2.0 in Den­ver, Col­or­ado, USA

Our group members Nina Lange and Timon Schapeler visited the Quantum 2.0 conference in Denver, Colorado this year. As the name suggests, the conference covered toptics such as quantum communication networks, quantum sensors, quantum computing, and more. Between the sessions and in the conference breaks a lot of fruitful conversations were held. Nina presented a poster on: "Cryogenic Degenerate Spontaneous Parametric Down-Conversion" Timon…

Fe­male Em­power­ment-Coach­ing

As a member of the SFB project TRR 142, Nina takes part in the coaching program for young female researchers. Together with six colleagues the kick-off took place on World Quantum Day, when the young scientists could discuss next steps for their career and develop some new ideas. The kick-off workshop will be followed by individual coaching sessions with business coach Uta Stiene, which will enable further personal development.

Jan Phil­ipp's Good­bye

After seven years of being in the group, we finally had to say goodbye to Jan Philipp. Last Friday was his last day, that is why we met in the afternoon to have some food together, play games and reminisce by a presentation Jan Philipp prepared. Thanks for all your work, you were a big part of our group!

MQO in Bris­tol at BQIT23

One of our PhD students Frederik Thiele travelled to Bristol in the UK and visited the Bristol Quantum Information Technology Workshop. He presented a poster and gave a presentation on "All optical operation of a superconducting photonic interface". Fruitful discussions and new ideas were exchanged during the workshop and meeting in Bristol. We thank the organizers for a great workshop and their hospitality.
