E5 – LABORATORY FOR OPEN SYSTEMS AND NETWORKS

Open day at the Jožef Stefan Institute

At the end of March each year, we commemorate the birthday of the remarkable Slovenian physicist Jožef Stefan as traditional Days of Jožef Stefan, known also as Stefan’s Days, spanning the entire week. This year Stefan’s Days’ activities conclude with the Open Day 2023 on Saturday 25 March 2023. This event is organized with cooperation of research departments and research centers. The event is open for general public interested in research activities on multidisciplinary fields of science.

The all-week program concludes with the traditional Open Day event, on March 25, 2023, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The members of Laboratory for open systems and networks, will also present our research work, as the part of the program “Building the modern world”. You are kindly invited. See the full programme here.

The first programme section of the Open Day will start at 9:00 (CET) at the Jožef Stefan Institute (Jamova cesta 39). Each programme section starts at the full hour and lasts 1 hour. The last presentation will start at 13:00. Parking will not be available at the Jožef Stefan Institute (Jamova cesta 39), but visitors will have an option to park at the parking place near the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics (Jadranska ulica 15). The number of these parking places is limited.

SiQUID – Slovenian Quantum Communication Infrastructure Demonstration

Our laboratory is part of a new project SiQUID that focuses on implementing quantum key distribution links between multiple government nodes in Slovenia and creating a test-bed quantum network between research institutions in Ljubljana. The project was officially launched on January 1, 2023.

Our department will play an important role in SiQUID’s efforts, contributing its expertise in information security and critical infrastructure protection to enhance the project’s scope and accelerate the development of advanced quantum communication protocols.

SiQUID’s launch marks an exciting milestone in the field of quantum communication in Slovenia and sets the stage for future advancements in quantum technology. Stay tuned for updates on the project’s progress and the impact it will have on the future of secure communication. To read more about the project, read here.
