Prof. Dr. Christine Silberhorn
University of Paderborn – Institute for Photonic Quantum Systems (PhoQS)
In her talk, Prof. Dr. Christine Silberhorn offers fascinating insights into current developments in quantum photonics and illustrates how the seemingly counterintuitive principles of quantum physics are being transformed into real-world applications – from absolutely secure communication and ultra-precise sensing to powerful quantum computers that go beyond traditional computing architectures.
The focus lies on the challenges and opportunities in controlling individual quantum systems such as photons, and the journey from small-scale laboratory setups to scalable, practical technologies.
