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.
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.
