Christine Silberhorn graduated from high school in 1993 and then studied mathematics and physics at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg until 1999 . In 1999 she passed her first state examination for teaching at grammar schools. From 1999 to 2002 she was a research assistant at the chair for optics at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg and did her doctorate in 2002 on the subject of quantum information processing . Silberhorn then worked as a post-doctoral student at the Clarendon Laboratory at Oxford University in 2003/04 and was a Junior Research Fellow at Wolfson College in Oxford, Great Britain. From 2005 to 2009 she was head of the integrated quantum optics group at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics(Garching) based in Erlangen and from 2009 to 2011 group leader (Integrated Quantum Optics) at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light in Erlangen, where she completed her habilitation in 2008. In 2011 Silberhorn received the Leibniz Prize, endowed with 2.5 million euros . At the time, she was the youngest recipient to ever receive this award. Silberhorn currently holds the Chair of Integrated Quantum Optics at the University of Paderborn . In 2019, Silberhorn's team succeeded in demonstrating the Hong-Ou-Almond effect .

Awards and memberships

In 2003, Silberhorn received one of the Ohm prizes for young scientists at the University of Erlangen for her dissertation on intensive entangled light rays and quantum cryptography .

In 2006 Silberhorn was accepted into the Young Academy , which is supported by the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and the German Academy of Natural Scientists Leopoldina .

In 2007, Silberhorn received the plaque of honor from the Werner von Siemens Ring Foundation for young scientists and the Hertha Sponer Prize .

In 2008 the scientist Silberhorn was awarded the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Prize .

In 2011 she received the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize for work in the field of experimental quantum optics as the youngest recipient to date .

In 2012 Silberhorn was elected a member of the Leopoldina .
