Christine Silberhorn is a German physicist, university professor at Paderborn University and recipient of numerous academic awards.
Education
Born in Nürnberg, Germany, Silberhorn studied mathematics and physics at Erlangen University and completed her PhD in 2003, with a dissertation in quantum information science. She did postdoctoral work at Clarendon Laboratory of Oxford University and was a Junior Research Fellow of Wolfson College in Oxford in 2003–2004.
Career
In 2005, she joined the Erlangen branch of the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics Garching, heading the Junior Research Group Integrated Quantum Optics until 2008. Upon foundation of the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light Erlangen, she headed the Integrated Quantum Optics Group until 2010, completing her habilitation in 2008. Silberhorn is currently Chair for Integrated Quantum Optics at Paderborn University.[1]
Research
Professor Silberhorn's research is dedicated to novel optical technologies based on quantum optics, and light-based quantum systems for use in quantum communication and quantum information processing. She has contributed to the development of engineered quantum light sources using integrated optics and ultrafast pulsed lasers, the implementation of multichannel quantum networks for photon counting and quantum simulations, and the realization of quantum communication systems with bright light.
Awards
Silberhorn's research on the quantum properties of light and the development of quantum devices has received worldwide recognition and numerous awards, including the Herta Sponer Prize[2] of the German Physical Society and the Medal of the Werner von Siemens Ring Foundation in 2007,[3] the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz-Preis in 2008 and the highly prestigious Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz-Prize in 2011.[4] For the latter, she was the youngest scientist to receive this award at the time. She has been a member of Leopoldina, the national academy of Germany, since 2012.[5]
