The Slovak Academy of Sciences awarded this honorary degree to Prof. Zeilinger in recognition of his contributions to particle physics and quantum technologies.

“Today we gather not only to celebrate an individual achievement, but to honor a scientist whose work has fundamentally transformed our understanding of reality itself. Professor Zeilinger’s pioneering experiments in quantum mechanics have taken us beyond theoretical speculation and into empirical demonstration of phenomena that challenge our everyday intuitions about the nature of the universe,” said SAS President Martin Venhart during the ceremony.
