Sage is a free mathematics software system. It is built out of nearly 100 open-source packages and features a unified Python interface. There is a nice video introduction to Sage by William Stein.
Sage 5.0 is available
Congratulations, DR Michal Mičuda!
Congratulation to Michal, who defended his thesis and earned his Ph.D. Michal is heading to start a postdoc in QOLO group at Palacky University Olomouc.
Making a poster with Inkscape (+template)
There is a very nice template for a scientific poster made by Felix Breuer using Inkscape, shared under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License. For many purposes it is maybe too fancy and you could find a square-panel layout more

How many photons does it take to measure a transmittance? Sometimes less than one.
In collaboration with theoretical quantum physicists from Pavia, Italy, we have studied minimum-energy quantum reading. Here in Quantum Optics Lab Olomouc we have demonstrated some efficient reading protocols using fiber-optics interferometric setup which encodes two quantum bits in which-way degree

Na foton si posvítili vědci z Katedry optiky Přírodovědecké fakulty Univerzity Palackého v Olomouci
Tým vědců kolem doc. Radima Filipa z Katedry optiky PřF UP si znovu posvítil na foton. Nejprve v prestižním americkém časopise Physical Review Letters [1] publikoval nové kritérium neklasických projevů slabých proudů fotonů, po šesti měsících pak toto kritérium v nové

Increasing efficiency of a linear-optical quantum gate using an electronic feed forward
We have successfully used a fast electronic feed forward to increase the success probability of a linear optical implementation of a programmable phase gate from 25% to its theoretical limit of 50% [Phys. Rev. A 85, 012305 (2012)]. The feed
