Learning outcomes
PLO-03. Develop and research conceptual, mathematical and computer models of processes and systems, use them effectively to gain new knowledge and / or create innovative products in physics (astronomy) and related interdisciplinary areas.
PLO-07. Deeply understand the general principles and methods of natural sciences, as well as the methodology of scientific research, be able to apply them in their own research in physics (astronomy) and in teaching practice.
Form of study
Distance form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
know the basic concepts of quantum theory of the field of elementary particles and the physics of quantum systems of many particles, such as the method of secondary quantization, the method of Green's functions, the Schwinger-Dyson equation; be able to solve relevant problems; have the skills to search for and process specialized literature, work with interactive and multimedia tools, interact with colleagues during training.
Course content
The discipline covers modern experience in the physics of quantum field systems at finite temperature. The course develops the professional skills of the graduate student as an independent scientist capable of conducting research in physical systems, which are described by the methods of quantum field theory at non-zero temperature. Teaching methods: lectures, practical classes, independent work, consultations.
