Quantum Informatics is a new Master's degree program that will be offered to students of the CTU in Prague from the academic year 2024/25. It is a joint venture on behalf of the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering (FNSPE), the Faculty of Information Technology (FIT), the Faculty of Electrical Engineering (FEE) and the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (FME). It is an all-school Master's program focused on the latest trends in informatics. Quantum communication and cryptography laboratories and a quantum computing laboratory will also be built to provide teaching facilities. Teaching will be conducted in both Czech and English.

On Wednesday March 23, 2022, the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering of the CTU in Prague (FNSPE) announced that it has received a permit from the State Office for Nuclear Safety (SÚJB) for the construction of the VR-2 nuclear reactor. It will be located in the same reactor hall where the faculty has been operating the VR-1 Vrabec reactor since 1990. The number of operating nuclear reactors in the Czech Republic will thus round up to ten in the future (not counting the Golem fusion reactor). In addition to the VR-1 and VR-2 reactors, there are also two research reactors of the Research Centre in Řež and six nuclear reactors operated by ČEZ in two nuclear power plants.

At a time of rising energy prices, the search for new, clean sources of energy is increasingly in vogue. One solution to the looming energy crisis may be thermonuclear fusion. For several years in the south of France, scientists and engineers have been building the world's first fusion reactor. The Czech Republic is also represented here. Among the entities involved is, among others, the Faculty of Nuclear and Physical Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague (FNSPE), which currently operates the only working tokamak (fusion reactor) in the Czech Republic. Now, in addition to the reactor, the faculty has built a modern PlasmaLab@CTU laboratory for students and scientists at a cost of more than CZK 23 million.

On Thursday, 13 January 2022, a second detector developed and manufactured by scientists from the Department of Physics of the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering of the CTU in Prague (FNSPE) in cooperation with esc Aerospace will enter Earth orbit. The unique 2SD particle detector will map so-called space weather and ionizing radiation in orbit. It will be carried there by SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral in the US.

Several European universities, including CTU, through the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering (FNSPE), have joined the European Quantum Flagship's QTEdu Open Master project. The aim of the universities and other participating organizations is to train quantum experts who will be needed for the ongoing development of quantum technologies.

The Czech National Quantum Infrastructure with connections to Germany, Austria, Slovakia and Poland is building a cybersecurity hub through collaboration among the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague (FJFI), the Faculty of Informatics of Masaryk University (FI MU), the Faculty of Natural Sciences of Palacký University in Olomouc (UPOL) and IT4 Innovations of the Mining University – Technical University of Ostrava (IT4I VŠB-TUO). 

To demonstrate the so-called quantum supremacy of a quantum computer based on photons, Chinese scientists used a solution to a computational problem formulated at the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague (FNSPE). Specifically, the Gaussian Boson Sampling protocol, developed by Craig Hamilton and Igor Jex of the FNSPE and their partners, the group of Christine Silberhorn of the University of Paderborn (FRG). The research team of the Chinese University of Science and Technology published a report on the results on December 3, 2020 in the journal Science.

For 30 years, the academic fission reactor VR-1 has served students from the Czech Republic and abroad, but it is also used for research activities. The reactor is operated by the Department of Nuclear Reactors of the Faculty of Nuclear Science and Physical Engineering (FNSPE) of the Czech Technical University in Prague. The VR-1 reactor reached the so-called first critical state on December 3, 1990 at 4:25 p.m. However, preparations for its construction began in 1982.
