The project skQCI is working on:
Deployment of national experimental quantum communication infrastructure across the country
Designing a prototype of a superconducting single photon detector and cryogenic system
Establishing a quantum technology training center for students and postdocs
Communication activites
The skQCI communication activities aim to raise awareness of the project, its objectives and its contribution to the European quantum communication ecosystem. Through the project website, social media, public and popular events, and engagement with press and media, skQCI communicates its activities and achievements to a broad range of audiences, including researchers, industry, policymakers, students and the general public.
Website
The skQCI website is the central communication platform of the project, providing information about its objectives, activities, partners and latest developments. It also serves as an accessible entry point to project news, events, scientific outputs and other public resources.
Social Media
skQCI uses social media to share project news, achievements, events and opportunities with a broader audience and to foster ongoing engagement with the quantum communication community. Follow QUTE.sk on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram and Youtube.
