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…
To promote the sustainable integration of international students into the labour market, the Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft e. V. is supporting the “MINTconnect2OWL” initiative, which aims to equip specialists in the fields of Mathematics, Computer Science, natural sciences and technology – known as MINT for short – are trained to meet the needs of the local economy. Through this project at Paderborn University, East…
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.

Hawking radiation is a form of radiation emitted by black holes, as theoretically predicted by Stephen Hawking. It describes how black holes not only swallow matter, but also emit very faint radiation themselves. This radiation has not yet been observed in space; instead, researchers are using models in the laboratory that mimic the behaviour of black holes. Although the effect of Hawking radiation is well known in astrophysics, the mechanism by…

The ‘Healthy University’ initiative has been working to promote the health of the members of Paderborn University for 30 years. Launched in 1996 as a student project with the involvement of the university management and the General Students’ Committee (AStA), it grew out of the ‘Healthy University’ working group.
The ‘Otus’ high-performance computer, installed at Paderborn University in 2025, is set to receive a significant boost in performance: Additional computing nodes and storage capacity will enable the HPC (High-Performance Computing) system to solve even more computationally intensive scientific and technical problems in future.
