The Jagiellonian - Positron Emission Tomograph (J-PET) is a multi purpose detector for tests of discrete symmetries and quantum entanglement of photons originating from the decay of positronium atoms. The research is per formed by measurement of angular correlations between photons from the an nihilations of the lightest leptonic bound system. The J-PET detector is the only device which enables determination of polarisation of photons from positronium annihilation together with estimation of positronium spin axis on the event-by-event basis. The novelty of the system is based on a usage of plastic scintil-lators as active detection material and trigger-less data acquisition system. The aim of two independent detection setups currently in use together with different annihilation chambers is to improve limits on C, CP and CPT symmetries and to search for the entanglement of photons originating from electron-positron annihilation. Additionally a precise measurement of ortho-positronium life time would allow to test of non-relativistic quantum electrodynamics and search for Mirror Matter.
