QOLO presentations at the POM23 Photonics Meetup
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.
Machine learning for optimal control of quantum devices
Quantum processors and sensors promise to outperform their classical counterparts. Still, they require classical control signals, which affect their operation in a highly nontrivial way. An example: electrical voltages controlling a photonic chip or a superconducting circuit. We developed a

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
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
