Prof. Miroslav Grajcar’s lecture on the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics explored how macroscopic quantum effects have reshaped our understanding of quantum devices, linking fundamental discovery to emerging technologies in computing and sensing within the quantum era.
The Slovak Academy of Sciences conferred the honorary title Doctor of Science honoris causa upon Nobel Laureate Professor Anton Zeilinger, one of the world’s foremost pioneers in quantum physics.
On October 28, 2025, the Office of the President of the Slovak Republic became the thirteenth signatory of the Memorandum on Cooperation in the Development of Quantum Communication Infrastructure in Slovakia. This initiative, led by the National Centre for Quantum Technologies – QUTE.sk, strengthens the collaboration between the scientific and public sectors in building the secure quantum communication networks of the future.
A colloQUTE lecture by Branislav Jansík presented the LUMI-Q VLQ and its role in Europe’s hybrid quantum–HPC ecosystem, outlining practical access opportunities and sparking an active discussion among a diverse audience of researchers, students, and technology professionals.
Anton Zeilinger, a pioneer of quantum communication, became renowned for his research on quantum entanglement, quantum state teleportation, and practical applications of quantum cryptography. His experiments laid the foundation for quantum networks and global quantum-secured communication. Collaborations with Slovak physicists and projects demonstrate how his work inspires the development of quantum technologies in Central Europe.
On October 16, 2025, QUTE.sk participated in OpenSlava 2025 at FEI STU in Bratislava – this year focused on showcasing the growing impact of quantum communication and quantum security technologies.
On September 26, 2025, the V-Klub in Bratislava transformed into a space where science, curiosity, and enthusiasm for quantum technologies came together. To celebrate the International Year of Quantum, we brought a large Quantum Zone to the European Researchers’ Night, where visitors could embark on a journey from the fundamental principles of physics to the most advanced technologies.
The international workshop HOAQS 2025 brought leading experts in higher-order quantum structures to the High Tatras. As one of the first events of its kind, it created a platform for in-depth scientific exchange, new collaborations, and shaping future research directions in this emerging field.
We presented the skQCI project at QCI Connect 2025 on September 16–17, 2025, in Tallinn, where national quantum communication projects from across Europe gathered to exchange experiences and strengthen collaboration toward a secure, interconnected quantum future.
The Quantum Technologies Summer School 2025 marked the third year in a row of this joint educational initiative, alternating annually between Bratislava and Vienna. From August 11–14, University of Applied Sciences Vienna became the meeting point for students and experts passionate about the future of quantum science.
