Scientists from the Joint Laboratory of Optics have become the first in the world to experimentally confirm a link between the uncertainty of a quantum state and quantum entanglement — a connection theoretically predicted by physicists from Japan and Taiwan. The results of their scientific work, published in a prestigious journal by Springer Nature, offer a completely new perspective on previously unknown relationships governing the functioning of nature at the quantum level.

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.
