Summary: Charles University's Faculty of Mathematics and Physics hosts solid groups in quantum optics and laser spectroscopy. The Department of Chemical Physics and Optics includes quantum optics groups relevant to sensing. CESNET and the Czech Academy of Sciences (with the Institute of Physics ASCR on campus) extend quantum network and sensing capabilities. The Optical Layout group works on atom optics. Quantum sensing depth is modest by Western European standards; Charles University's key strength for sensing postdocs is cost-effectiveness and access to the Czech quantum ecosystem, which participates in the European Quantum Flagship.
