Last week, the long-awaited QDrive quantum memory developed by the French company Welinq arrived at the laboratories of the Institute of Physics of the Slovak Academy of Sciences. As the first commercially available system of its kind, QDrive represents a significant milestone on the path toward scalable quantum communication and computing networks. The system was […]
Bratislava, April 21. – 24. 2026 — Gravity is the faintest of nature’s forces – and yet it shapes the universe. Last week, scientists gathered in Bratislava to ask a bold question: what happens when gravity meets the quantum world? Bratislava hosted global experts on quantum information and gravity at the international conference Observers and […]
The event Quantum Entanglements 2026, held on April 14 at Kácečko in Bratislava on the occasion of World Quantum Day, once again offered the public an up-to-date perspective on developments in quantum technologies and quantum computing research. This year’s edition focused on the physical realization of qubits – the fundamental building blocks of quantum computers. The program showcased three distinct approaches […]
In April 2026, Prof. Barry C. Sanders, a leading expert in quantum information science, visited Slovakia as part of the eduQUTE programme. His lecture series and colloquium brought together students, researchers and professionals, offering insights into quantum computing and its broader context.
As part of the colloQUTE series, IP SAS, in cooperation with QUTE.sk, hosted a physics colloquium focused on magnetoelectric phenomena in non-centrosymmetric superconductors lead by Assoc prof. Denis Kochan (IMPULZ Fellow).
The year 2025, declared the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology by UNESCO, was exceptionally intense for the eduQUTE initiative. Alongside our research and educational activities, we continued to build on long-term efforts that we have been systematically developing for years in the field of quantum technology outreach. Throughout the year, we engaged the general public, secondary […]
Kvanta – the Virtual Classroom has had a successful year. Throughout this school year, two semesters were held in which high school students from various parts of Slovakia dove into the world of quantum physics – in a way that goes beyond ordinary school lessons. The program was designed for curious students roughly in the range 12 […]
Košice, 11 December 2025 – The first commercial quantum-secured communication link in Slovakia, connecting Košice and Prešov, was officially inaugurated today at Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice. This marks a historic milestone in building the national quantum communication infrastructure and represents the first fully operational component of the Slovak network that forms part of the […]
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.
