Košice, 11 December 2025 – The first commercial quantum-secured communication link in Slovakia, connecting Košice and Prešov, was officially inaugurated today at Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice. This marks a historic milestone in building the national quantum communication infrastructure and represents the first fully operational component of the Slovak network that forms part of the […]
The National Security Authority (NBÚ) has signed a Memorandum of Cooperation with the National Center for Quantum Technologies – QUTE.sk, aimed at developing quantum communication infrastructure within the territory of the Slovak Republic. This represents a strategic step toward strengthening the state’s cybersecurity and preparedness for emerging technological challenges. “Developing quantum communication infrastructure in Slovakia […]
Partnering with the Slovak Academy of Sciences, IonQ bolsters national security and European quantum communications infrastructure
The Slovak Academy of Sciences conferred the honorary title Doctor of Science honoris causa upon Nobel Laureate Professor Anton Zeilinger, one of the world’s foremost pioneers in quantum physics.
On October 28, 2025, the Office of the President of the Slovak Republic became the thirteenth signatory of the Memorandum on Cooperation in the Development of Quantum Communication Infrastructure in Slovakia. This initiative, led by the National Centre for Quantum Technologies – QUTE.sk, strengthens the collaboration between the scientific and public sectors in building the secure quantum communication networks of the future.
Anton Zeilinger, a pioneer of quantum communication, became renowned for his research on quantum entanglement, quantum state teleportation, and practical applications of quantum cryptography. His experiments laid the foundation for quantum networks and global quantum-secured communication. Collaborations with Slovak physicists and projects demonstrate how his work inspires the development of quantum technologies in Central Europe.
On October 16, 2025, QUTE.sk participated in OpenSlava 2025 at FEI STU in Bratislava – this year focused on showcasing the growing impact of quantum communication and quantum security technologies.
On September 26, 2025, the V-Klub in Bratislava transformed into a space where science, curiosity, and enthusiasm for quantum technologies came together. To celebrate the International Year of Quantum, we brought a large Quantum Zone to the European Researchers’ Night, where visitors could embark on a journey from the fundamental principles of physics to the most advanced technologies.
We presented the skQCI project at QCI Connect 2025 on September 16–17, 2025, in Tallinn, where national quantum communication projects from across Europe gathered to exchange experiences and strengthen collaboration toward a secure, interconnected quantum future.
The Quantum Technologies Summer School 2025 marked the third year in a row of this joint educational initiative, alternating annually between Bratislava and Vienna. From August 11–14, University of Applied Sciences Vienna became the meeting point for students and experts passionate about the future of quantum science.
