Exceptional points are one of the phenomena of modern Physics. These are special points or locations at which the properties of matter, space or time change. In a new study, researchers from the Institute for Photonic Quantum Systems (PhoQS) at Paderborn University, in collaboration with researchers from the University of Arizona, have shown that ‘exceptional points’ in non-linear systems follow a universal geometric order – something that was…
Each year, the Executive Board awards prizes to early-career researchers who have completed their doctoral examination procedure at Paderborn University with the distinction ‘summa cum laude’ or ‘with distinction’. The total prize money amounts to 10,000 euros and may be divided amongst several winners.

During the summer semester of 2026, numerous graduates from the Faculty of Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and Mathematics, as well as from PLAZ – Professional School of Education at Paderborn University, were honoured. During the festive graduation ceremonies, alongside their certificates, graduates were also awarded prizes for exceptional commitment or outstanding final-year projects.
On the recommendation of Paderborn University, the Paderborn University Society honours students for outstanding master's theses. Students who receive their degree certificate between 1 October 2025 and 30 September 2026 and have successfully completed all their examinations are eligible for nomination.

A team of researchers from the Institute for Photonic Quantum Systems (PhoQS) at Paderborn University has taken a decisive step towards universal photonic quantum computers.
Along with 45 other networks, the zdi Centre in Paderborn, which cooperates with Paderborn University, was awarded the 2026 Quality Seal by Ina Brandes, Minister for Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia. The networks promoting young talent in STEM subjects are thus being recognised for their outstanding work in the regions and their great commitment.

With the aim of strengthening cross-border cooperation in quantum technologies, the European Commission has launched the 2025 “QuantERA” call for proposals. Supported by 34 funding organisations from 29 countries, the total funding package amounts to around 53 million euros. Out of more than 1,400 research teams and 287 applications, exactly 39 projects have been recommended for funding. With their project ‘Semidefinite Foundations for Quantum…
Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer just a tool, but is increasingly establishing itself as a ‘new colleague’. The network ‘AI as a new colleague?’ within the ‘University Association for the Training of Early-Career Researchers in Germany’ (UniWinD) aims to create a forum for regular exchange in future.
No fewer than three research groups from the Institute for Photonic Quantum Systems (PhoQS) and the Department of Physics at Paderborn University have made progress in the field of modern photonics in their most recent work.
