PicoQuant GmbH awards "Student Award" price at the International Symposium on “Single Photon based Quantum Technologies”, which was heldt for the first time from May 30-June 1, 2018 in Berlin, Germany. Undergraduate and graduate students are encouraged to participate in this best presentation competition which offers a cash award worth 750 Euro. The award is aiming to encourage young scientists to present their work in a broader audience.

2018 Award

Student awardMany excellent contributions made it very difficult for the jury to nominate a single winner. Therefore the student award of 750 Euro was split between Naomi Holland (University of Oxford, United Kingdom) who presented her work on "Optical Tweezers for Neutral Atoms: The Key to a Reliable Atom-Photon Quantum Interface" and Ekkehart Schmidt (Karlsruhe Institute for Technology, Germany) who talked on "Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors on GaAs with suppressed parasitic counts". Congratulations!

Undergraduates and graduate students can now submit their abstract for the “Student Award” to be awarded at the 1st International Symposium on “Single Photon based Quantum Technologies”. The competition for the best presentation offers a cash award worth 750 Euro

Application deadline is February 5, 2018

The submission of the abstracts for the Quantum Symposium 2018 is closed.
