In 2024, the ATLAS experiment published in Nature the first observation of quantum entanglement at the highest energies, specifically in a system of top quark pairs produced in proton-proton collisions at the LHC accelerator at CERN.

The operation of the Pierre Auger Observatory has been extended for another ten years. The relevant agreement was signed on November 16, 2024, in Malargüe by Michael Prouza, the director of the Czech Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Physics (FZU).

Scientists from the Joint Laboratory of Optics, a collaboration between Palacký University and the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences, have significantly refined and improved the efficiency of quantum entanglement tests, which play a crucial role in the development of quantum computers, by incorporating artificial intelligence. Their research results were recently published in the prestigious journal Physical Review Research.

Nobel Prize laureate for experiments with quantum-entangled photons, Professor Alain Aspect, visited the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences. At the FZU headquarters in Prague, he delivered a lecture titled "From Einstein and Bell to Quantum Technologies: Entanglement in Action". Three representatives from the Joint Laboratory of Optics of Palacký University and the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences attended both the lecture and the subsequent discussion.
