Meet our city and university
Ivo Straka awarded by Rector’s Prize. Congratulations!
Ivo dnes převzal Cenu Rektora za nejlepší vědeckou práci. Díky za reprezentaci a pozvání (raut byl skvělý). Gratulujeme!
Nová témata studentských prací
Hyper-kódování kvantových bitů a jeho využití pro kvantové počítače (Qubit hyper-encoding for quantum computers) Kódování informace do jednotlivých kvant světla, fotonů, zefektivňuje některé komunikační a výpočetní operace a umožňuje testovat základní principy budoucích kvantových počítačů. Další cestou zvýšení hustoty uložení

Photons beyond qubits 2013
It is our great pleasure to inform you that the 2nd workshop “Photons beyond qubits”, will take place in Olomouc, Czech Republic, during April 8 – April 10, 2013. The workshop will be focused on experimental investigation of quantum information
Online collaborative writing of LaTeX documents
There are better ways than using email, that’s for sure. You can find a nice review of various collaborative writing tools on LaTeX wikibook: SpanDeX and ShareLaTeX allow for only one collaborator per project within their “free” licenses. WriteLaTeX is like EtherPad for
Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle with laser pointer
What happens when a collimated beam of light hits a narrow slit? For the slit that is only slightly narrower than the beam, it appears that the slit cuts out part of the beam. When the slit opening decreases, the
Experimental test of the strongly nonclassical character of a noisy squeezed single-photon state
Our paper on testing non-Gaussian character of Schroedinger’s cat state produced under realistic conditions has been published in Physical Review A [10.1103/PhysRevA.86.043813]. In collaboration with QUIN group of prof. Ulrik Andersen we have experimentally verified the quantum non-Gaussian character of

30 ms optical shutter using RC servo
In QOLO we use shutters mainly for switching between different input signals, such as probe laser and single photons, and for closing individual paths of complex interferometric setups. Typically, there are two methods how to achieve this goal based on
