Tříkrálová konference Olomouc 2022 – živé pokračování online setkání mladých českých a slovenských fyziků
Trojkráľová konferencia 2022
Accurate polarimetry with liquid crystals
In our new work published in Optics Express, we present a calibration method for twisted nematic liquid crystals (TNLCs) that allows accurate polarization manipulation. The calibration method does not require knowledge of parameters or a model of the constituent TNLC

Dominik Koutný and Dominik Vašinka from our group will present video posters at the MLQ2021. The goal of this online conference, taking place March 1-5, 2021, is to bring together quantum physicists with experts in computer science and machine learning,
Certification of quantum properties of single-photon detectors
Our work on quantum-feature certification for single-photon detectors was published in Physical Review Letters, DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.126.043601, arXiv: 2101.03509. We proposed and experimentally demonstrated a procedure for direct certification of quantum non-Gaussianity and Wigner function negativity of photonic quantum detectors. Surprisingly,
QOLO presentations at the Photonics Online Meetup, January 2021
Five members of the QOLO group (Ivo Straka, Josef Hloušek, Vojtěch Švarc, Jan Grygar, Dominik Vašinka) were selected for poster presentations at the Photonics Online Meet-up (POM). POM is an entirely free virtual conference. It aims to bring together a

Seven members of the QOLO group (Ivo Straka, Josef Hloušek, Dominik Koutný, Radim Hošák, Vojtěch švarc, Martin Bielak, Dominik Vašinka) were selected for poster presentations at the Photonics Online Meet-up (POM). POM is an entirely free virtual conference. It aims
SPAD Counting Model
Recently, we have looked into actively quenched SPADs and their detection statistics.
Ivo Straka awarded by the prestigious Werner von Siemens Prize
The member of our team at QOLO, Ivo Straka, has received the Werner von Siemens Award for his dissertation on preparation, detection, and characterization of quantum states of light. Ivo focused on generating multiphoton states as well as light signals
Three new optical labs opened at QOLO
Three laboratories have been built, including a dedicated HVAC system (ISO8), closed water cooling circuit, and distribution of technical gases. The labs will allow for new projects in quantum optics, optical quantum technologies, light-matter interaction, digital optical information processing, and
Digital pulsebox
Our work on the arbitrary digital pulse sequence generator using delay-loop timing of a microcontroller was published in Rev. Sci. Inst. 89, 045103 (2018), https://doi.org/10.1063/1.5019685, arXiv. Any uC can be used to get timing accuracy at the level of two or
