Many thanks to Petr Kavalíř from the New Technologies — Research Centre of @zcu.cz for hosting, and to all participants for the forward-looking conversations.

I was honoured to be part of the Czech delegation, representing @unikarlova.cuni.cz, alongside Professors Jiří Pavlů and Jan Hajič. Our focus was on connecting academic research with industrial innovation, especially in areas where quantum and #AI are rapidly evolving toward real-world impact.

A proto škrtáme rozpočet na školství.

5/5: Read the preprint here: arxiv.org/abs/2508.16407 We welcome your thoughts and feedback! Let's discuss and push the boundaries of science together. #Antimatter #Research #Innovation @unimainz.bsky.social @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social @charlesuni.cuni.cz @mff.unikarlova.cuni.cz

4/5: While we've reached the current design's limits, we're already developing next-generation traps in Mainz & Prague. Stay tuned for more updates—details about our patent are here: worldwide.espacenet.com/patent/searc.... #Science #ParticlePhysics

3/5: We've successfully trapped electrons (as stand-ins for positrons) in the electron-ion trap for periods sufficient for experimental purposes. This is a significant step towards our goal! #Research #Innovation

2/5: Our ultimate goal? To produce antimatter by recombining positrons & anti-protons in a compact lab setup. Imagine receiving antiprotons from CERN, transferring them to our trap containing positrons for recombination! #Antimatter #Science

Without the EU, it would have already been implemented in half of the countries without any discussion.

5/5: A huge shoutout to collaborators: Vineet Kumar, Niklas V. Lausti,, Ivan Hudák, David Motyčka and Adam Jelínek from @mff.unikarlova.cuni.cz, and Jiří Hajnyš from Technical University in Ostrava. Your contributions made this possible! 🙏👥 #TeamWork #ScienceCollaboration

4/5: We investigated pressure variations over a month and found that our 3D-printed components are reliable for long-term experiments. This opens doors for future studies in microwave detection and ion-electron interactions. ⏳📊

3/5: The atomic oven performs exceptionally well in UHV environments, with minimal outgassing. This is crucial for maintaining the stability required for electron-ion trapping experiments. 🔬🌡

2/5: Our microwave-driven electron trap integrates seamlessly into a coaxial cavity, enabling stable, high-amplitude electric field oscillations. Perfect for simultaneous ion trapping! 🌐🔍 arxiv.org/abs/2509.06537
