Microscopy just took a major leap forward. Imagine capturing the invisible: the complex internal structures of living cells, without the need for staining, without harming the samples, and with astonishing precision. Now imagine achieving this with ordinary, incoherent light and
The challenging relocation of several heavy optical tables into our newly built quantum optics labs, situated on the 4th floor, took place six years ago. Since then, these optical tables have undergone remarkable development and have grown into a dense
Super-resolution imaging has transformed scientific disciplines, from molecular biology to astronomy, by enabling visualization beyond the diffraction limit. However, current super-resolution methods require extensive calibration for each imaging setup, restricting their applicability. Our latest research introduces a novel AI-driven, device-agnostic
In her work, Rebeka Zrníková focused on the experimental implementation of digital holographic microscopy for live cell observation and the analysis of reconstructed images. Aleš Marák developed deep neural networks capable of quantifying key features of quantum states directly from
Adding Photons Without the Noise — Our team has made a significant breakthrough by experimentally preparing multiphoton-added coherent states of light, a key development in optical quantum state engineering. The findings, published in npj Quantum Information, highlight demonstrating the addition
Our student, Dominik Vašinka, has been awarded the prestigious Werner von Siemens Award 2023 for his Master thesis and advancement of quantum control through artificial intelligence. His innovative approach tackles the longstanding challenge of optimal control for a variety of
Dominik Koutný presented a talk on Deep learning of quantum entanglement as part of the Hot Topics Session at the POM23 Photonics Meetup. For more details see published paper: 10.1126/sciadv.add7131. We also presented a number of posters: R. Stárek, M.
We are thrilled to share our research on the quantification of quantum entanglement using artificial neural networks. Our approach allows us to accurately measure entanglement without requiring complete knowledge of the quantum state. By leveraging neural networks, we achieve a
