My goal of today is to rise up the awareness about the intriguing and yet one of the most prosperous theory the human intelligence has developed so far – the Quantum Theory. Currently, I am a researcher at the department of physics education, a tutor for teachers, and the luckiest guest in schools talking to the beautiful minds about the quantum mysteries.

During my research career (1999 - ...) I have discovered several features visible only through the prism of the quantum perspective.

The first was the fascinating nature of atomic SPIN, deeply hidden beneath the intriguing layers of quantum theory. It turned out that, despite the mystery of its nature, spin can interact and communicate its properties to something we can clearly see every day, to light. I devoted my Ph.D. work to understand how this quantum information exchange between the spin of atoms and light works. It turned out that one can build a quantum memory for light based on this completely new idea! The second thing I found on my quantum path was even more intriguing. It appeared to be possible to control the atomic motion by the very same thing we see every day, by light. Тhe technology available today enables us to exchange the quantum state back and forth between the light and the atomic motion, which mathematically look much more similar than in life in fact.

Quantum technologies have revolutionized our society with computers, GPS, digital cameras, screens, lasers and radiological medicine! Now we are living the second quantum revolution: the birth of quantum computers, quantum communication devices, quantum sensors and quantum simulators. They will be faster, more secure, more precise and will address questions we cannot answer yet! I am honored to be part of this revolution!
