In August, we wrapped up the 4th edition of the QUTE Summer School in Bratislava – our biggest edition so far, bringing together 80 participants from 19 countries, creating an international environment for students, researchers, educators and quantum technology enthusiasts to learn, experiment and exchange ideas.
Once again this year, the Institute of Physics of the Slovak Academy of Sciences participated in the 2026 Summer School for Young Scientists, organized for the eighth time by the All4Science association in cooperation with the Slovak Academy of Sciences with the aim of introducing students aged 12 to 17 to the world of scientific research and motivating them to study science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
QUTE.sk has joined the European Quantum Academy (EQA), one of Europe’s largest initiatives for quantum technology education and workforce development. As the only Slovak organisation in the consortium of more than 70 partners, QUTE.sk will contribute to strengthening Europe’s quantum education ecosystem and supporting the next generation of quantum professionals.
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 […]
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.
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.
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.
