The study result consists in mastering the methods of modern quantum physics and theoretical description of quantum-measurement problems by the students. In addition, students will get skills of independent obtaining new knowledge related to the given field of research, analysis of information from different sources, including online resources, and ability for abstract thinking, analysis and synthesis of material from all physical disciplines.

Full-time form

To know basic principles of classical mechanics, electrodynamics, quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, statistical physics, probability theory, mathematical statistics, linear algebra. To be able to employ preliminary knowledge of analysis and the probability theory for expansion of functions in power series, evaluation of integrals with parameter differentiation and generating functions, evaluation of random-variable moments. To have skills related to calculation of expectation values of operators with the density operator and algebraic manipulations with matrices.

The Lecture Course “Physical backgrounds of quantum information” is a part of the educational program “Bachelor of Physics”. This lecture course aims to introduce to the students basic principles of this field of research such as classical and quantum information, quantum theory in Hilbert-space and phase-space representations quantum electromagnetic field, measurements in quantum optics, linear quantum-optical operations, nonclassical phenomena and their simplest applications for quantum non-universal calculations and quantum metrology.

Lectures – 30 hours Independent work – 60 hours

The lecture course consists of two study modules. The evaluation system includes the routine evaluation and the semester evaluation. Forms of the evaluation: oral answers, homeworks, and quizzes. Each student may get up to 80 points for the semester evaluation and up to 20 points for the exam. The final evaluation is organized in the form of an exam (20 points). Each student gets a theoretical question (10 points) and a task to solve (10 points). Students who got less than 48 points during the semester evaluation are not allowed to pass the exam. The examination mark cannot be less than 12 points. The examination work is not obligatory for students obtained more than 60 points during the semester evaluation.
