QuSine from Paderborn: New technology revolutionizes high-frequency transmission

With the founding of “QuSine”, the University of Paderborn has created a remarkable spin-off, which was recently selected by the Federal Agency for Leap Innovations (SPRIND) for an important validation contract. This contract is part of a funding program that supports groundbreaking technological developments with disruptive potential. “QuSine” specializes in the development of high-precision signal generators in the high-frequency range, which are based on an innovative optoelectronic approach.

With its technology, “QuSine” wants to redefine the limits of RF signal generation and create solutions for future communication and measurement technology. The focus is on minimizing disruptive factors such as phase noise and jitter, resulting in more stable and reliable signals. Prof. Dr. Christoph Scheytt from the University of Paderborn emphasizes how important this funding is for the combination of optical and electronic circuits in high-frequency systems. This opens up new applications in areas such as quantum technology.

The university's innovative strength

The founding teams of “QuSine” see the support from SPRIND as a significant milestone in shaping the future of radio frequency technology. With the financial backing, the company intends to further develop its technology and make it market-ready. The selection of “QuSine” underlines the innovative strength of spin-offs from the University of Paderborn. Prof. Dr. Thomas Tröster highlights the potential of such spin-offs, which are able to advance the technologies of tomorrow.

The breakthrough innovations supported by SPRIND aim to support ideas that have the potential to fundamentally change entire industries. Innovative research plays a crucial role, especially in an environment characterized by rapid technological development.

Technological sovereignty in Germany

In the context of current developments, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) has also launched the framework program “Research and Innovation for Technological Sovereignty 2030” (FITS2030). The aim of this program is to make the development of new technologies in Germany more independent and competitive in international comparison. FITS2030 bundles funding measures in various digital and industrial key technologies.

Key digital technologies include artificial intelligence, microelectronics and quantum technologies. As part of this initiative, around 1.6 billion euros will be made available for 2025 to promote development in these areas.

In summary, the commitment of “QuSine” and the support from SPRIND shows the innovative strength of the University of Paderborn and makes a valuable contribution to Germany’s technological sovereignty. The progress in high-frequency technology is not only a step for the company, but also a significant stimulus for the entire industry.
