BRATISLAVA – 24. June 2026 – The Slovak Republic has officially launched its first quantum communication infrastructure, developed under the European project Slovak Quantum Communication Infrastructure (skQCI). The project forms part of the European Quantum Communication Infrastructure (EuroQCI) initiative, which aims to establish a Europe-wide secure communication network resilient against future cyber threats, including attacks enabled by quantum […]
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 […]
On June 17, 2026 we actively participated in the international workshop Workshop about Experiences on Building National Quantum Communication Networks, held at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME). The event was organized within the CEQCI (Central European Quantum Communication Infrastructure) project, which brings together partners from Slovakia, Austria, Hungary, and Romania to coordinate the development and […]
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 […]
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).
PARIS & BRATISLAVA – 13. Januar 2026 – Welinq announces the sale of QDrive, its commercial record-breaking quantum memory product, with the Institute of Physics, Slovak Academy of Sciences, as part of the Slovak quantum communication infrastructure. Just two years after the start of its development, QDrive has progressed from advanced research to product-grade, commercial quantum memory. Designed, industrialized, and brought to market in a record time, QDrive’s first commercial sale marks a key […]
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 […]
