Czech–Taiwan Workshop on Quantum Materials, June 28 - July 5, 2026

The Czech–Taiwan Workshop on Quantum Materials (June 28 – July 5, 2026), organized within the AMULET project, brings together researchers from Charles University and National Taiwan Normal University to discuss recent advances in low-dimensional and quantum materials, light–matter interactions, and emerging quantum technologies. Building on a long-standing collaboration supported by joint research projects, academic exchanges, and student mobility, the workshop provides a platform for scientific discussion, knowledge sharing, and the development of future collaborative activities. In addition to the scientific program, participants will take part in hands-on laboratory sessions designed to introduce the experimental infrastructure and research capabilities available at Charles University while providing practical experience with advanced characterization techniques and methodologies.

Visiting Student Research Collaboration on Twisted Light and 2D Materials

Yi-Fan Chiu, an M.S. student from National Taiwan Normal University, Taiwan, advised by Prof. Ting-Hua Lu, was visiting Charles University from March 1 to March 31 as part of an ongoing international research collaboration. During his stay, he was working under the supervision of Jana Vejpravová at the Department of Condensed Matter Physics, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, within the Physics of Nanostructures Group.

A New Twisted-Light Spectroscopy Platform Developed at Matfyz

A new state-of-the-art experimental platform for generating and studying twisted light—light carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM)—has been successfully developed at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University (Matfyz). The system was designed and realized by Dr. Rahul Kesarwani as part of his MSCA-CZ Fellowship, under the supervision of Prof. Jana Kalbáčová Vejpravová.

The group “Physics of Nanostructures” focuses on comprehensive research of advanced nanomaterials and their nanostructures. Our core expertise is in the material design and advanced studies of the physical properties of hybrid nanostructures based on 2D materials, magnetic molecules and magnetic nanoparticles for opto-electronic, biomedical and environmental applications. Our specialty is operando optical (photoluminescence and Raman) micro-spectroscopy measurements at variable temperature and in static magnetic fields up to 14 T, as well as in high frequency magnetic fields up to 1 MHz. The common denominator of our recent research is the physical and chemical processes induced by chirality.
