After completing my Bachelor’s degree in Physics in the very cool and green city of Jena, I decided to start the international Master of Photonics in Jena as well. Since I really wanted to do two semesters abroad during my studies, I chose to combine them with my Master’s thesis. As it was clear to me that I wanted to specialize in photonic quantum technologies, I decided to join Pascale Senellart’s research group in Paris. There, I worked on a new quantum key distribution approach using quantum dot single photon sources. After having finished my Master's thesis in Paris, I moved to Erlangen to join the Sandoghdar division at the MPL. Here, I closely work with Prof. Stephan Götzinger on the generation of non-classical light using coherently coupled molecular dimers.
