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 […]
Partnering with the Slovak Academy of Sciences, IonQ bolsters national security and European quantum communications infrastructure
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.
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 March 12, 2025, the President of the Slovak Republic, Peter Pellegrini, visited the Institute of Physics SAS, marking a key moment for Slovakia’s quantum technology development. During his visit, we discussed the future of cybersecurity and the crucial role of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) in protecting sensitive communications. The President witnessed a live demonstration of our entanglement-based QKD prototype, which instantly detected an attempted eavesdropping. His visit highlighted Slovakia’s commitment to advancing quantum-secured communication and strengthening collaboration between science and government.
Researchers at the Research Center for Quantum Information (RCQI) at Institute of Physics SAS have successfully completed the installation and testing of a fully meshed quantum key distribution (QKD) in close collaboration with German company Quantum Optics Jena GmbH.
At the end of the year, we hosted two significant delegations to showcase the country’s progress in research and innovation, supported by the European Union’s Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF).
The European Quantum Technologies Conference (EQTC) 2024, held in Lisbon, Portugal, from November 18 to 20, and QUTE.sk was delighted to participate in this landmark event.
During a week from November 11 – 15, the QUTE Pavilion of Institute o Physics of the Slovak Academy of Sciences (IP SAS) opened its doors to … the World of Quantum Technologies. With a diverse group of visitors, including elementary and high school students, the event highlighted cutting-edge research and the technologies. In the […]
