Using gold and diamonds, Vladimíra Petráková from @heyrovskeho-ustav.bsky.social is working to refine optical microscopy & reveal hidden patterns in the nanoworld – while breaking Czech science stereotypes, such as women having to choose between children and a career. ➡️ www.avcr.cz/en/news-arch...

I’m hiring a postdoc to work on the theory of entanglement between superconducting qubits distributed with the help of electrooptic transduction. Full details: qt.eu/jobs-quantum... Please share with anyone this might be relevant for. #Postdoc #PhysicsJobs #QuantumInformation #QuantumComputing

Visiting the server room at @it4innovations.bsky.social in Ostrava is always enjoyable. This year there's also new hardware: a quantum computer VLQ 🐺 and next generation Barbora cluster. Looking forward to some great science they'll enable.

Today I passed 2000 observations and 900 species on @inaturalist.bsky.social . It has been a nice way to learn about nature and contribute to various projects. Huge thanks goes to the people that help to identify my observations. www.inaturalist.org/observations...

Evening multitasking: reading Khanh's latest manuscript, watching my older daughter's long and high jump competition and plane spotting arrivals to PRG 🙂.

First blossoming cherry tree and common lilac close to our office in Prague. Feels a bit too early, especially for the cherry tree.

I found some hair ices today in an old beech forest close to Machov, CZ, the nicest one is on the picture. I wasn't exactly sure on what it was growing but it was a piece of wood indeed. #broumovsko

Czech radio station Radiozurnal has a programme about science called Experiment. Last Saturday it was about ELI Beamlines laser facility. My wife talked about experiments that study interaction of atomic clusters and molecules with light. radiozurnal.rozhlas.cz/magazin-expe...

Perfect visibility today, over 100 km, and decent snow conditions. Nice day to go skiing with kids. #broumovsko

Quest for today: find a way how to print in colour 🙃

I passed my habilitation/assoc. prof. defence today. Thanks all.
