    The Department of Condensed Matter Physics has expanded with a new research group, Quantum Information and Thermodynamics, led by Ing. Dominik Šafránek, Ph.D. The group, funded by two prestigious grant — Primus and Junior Star—will focus on developing a novel method for quantum tomography based on the quantum Bayes’ theorem. This method will serve as a diagnostic tool for quantum technologies, including quantum computers, sensors, and cryptographic devices, enabling the identification of sources of error and thus improving their implementation.

About our department

We are a physics department dedicated to the study of condensed matter, i.e. the physics of solids and liquids. We are a research department with a strong focus on theoretical and experimental condensed matter physics. Our department also houses the scientific infrastructure of MGML, which is a state-of-the-art facility for research in condensed matter physics.

What do we do?

We work on the latest problems in condensed matter physics. We have 4 groups: Group of Magnetic Properties studies the physical properties of a wide range of materials, from high-temperature superconductors to rare earth metal alloys and actinides. Group of Structure Analysis focuses on the study structure and microstructure of advanced materials using X-ray diffraction. Group of Theoretical Physics models a wide range of physical phenomena in condensed matter, in particular using quantum mechanics and artificial intelligence. Physics of Nanostructures Group concentrates on comprehensive research of nanostructures with a focus on their use in optoelectronic, biomedical and environmental technologies.
