Slovene quantum science and technology community
The Slovene quantum science and technology community (QUTES) brings together researchers, organizations, and companies active in the field of quantum technologies. Our main goals are:
- Fostering collaboration between academia and industry in the field of quantum technologies.
- Educating and raising awareness about the significance and potential of quantum technologies.
QUTES is open to new members – we invite you to join us!
The United Nations General Assembly has declared 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, marking the centenary of modern quantum theory. This recognition highlights the fundamental role of quantum mechanics in understanding the world and its potential for developing innovative technologies that harness phenomena such as superposition and quantum entanglement.
