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.
From July 14 to 18, 2025, the Institute of Physics of the Slovak Academy of Sciences opened its doors to young scientists aged 12 to 18 as part of the Summer School of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, organised by All4Science, o.z.
RCQI at the Institute of Physics of the Slovak Academy of Sciences hosted Prof. Byoung S. Ham from the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology, South Korea, for two fascinating talks about quantum communication and quantum sensing.
On June 30, 2025, the Institute of Physics of the Slovak Academy of Sciences had the honor of hosting Olivier Ezratty, an international expert in quantum technologies, consultant, and author of the extensive publication Understanding Quantum Technologies.
From April 28 to 30, Greece hosted the international QCI Days 2025 conference in Athens, reaffirming its leading role in the European Quantum Communication Infrastructure (EuroQCI) initiative. The conference provided a key platform to discuss secure and scalable quantum communication across Europe.
On Monday, April 14, 2025, science fans, students, educators, and technology enthusiasts met at the Kácečko Cultural Center in Bratislava for the “Quantum Entanglements” event, which brought an evening full of inspiring lectures, discussions, and a friendly atmosphere on the occasion of World Quantum Day.
The Slovak Quantum Communication Infrastructure (skQCI) project reached a next important milestone with the successful deployment of its first quantum communication node in Trnava. This step marks the transition from lab-based demonstrations to real-world deployment, as Slovakia moves toward building a national, quantum-secure network.
What leads someone to return to Slovakia after spending years at one of Europe’s most prestigious research institutions? For Marián Janík, the answer is not only about quantum technologies, scientific achievements, or career opportunities. It is also about curiosity, the search for truth, a connection to home, and the conviction that a scientific environment should […]
