Last week, Val 202 aired a special edition of the podcast Frekvenca X, dedicated to Quantum Day at the Jožef Stefan Institute. The episode featured in-depth discussions about quantum science and technology, and we are proud that several guests from our department took part in the conversation:
-
prof. dr. Lev Vidmar, Jožef Stefan Institute and Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, University of Ljubljana
-
dr. Lara Ulčakar, Jožef Stefan Institute and Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, University of Ljubljana
-
prof. dr. Anton Ramšak, Jožef Stefan Institute and Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, University of Ljubljana
-
prof. dr. Rok Žitko, Jožef Stefan Institute and Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, University of Ljubljana
-

The podcast (in Slovene) is divided into chapters for easier navigation:
-
00:01:14 – What is quantum science?
-
00:06:14 – What is quantum entanglement?
-
00:09:42 – How do students think about quantum physics?

And that’s not all – dr. Lara Ulčakar was also named Name of the Week (Ime tedna) on Val 202!
This recognition is given every week to someone who has gone a step further, stood out from the average, and made a meaningful impact in the previous week.
Congratulations to dr. Lara Ulčakar on this well-deserved recognition!
