Learning outcomes
The learning outcomes are the acquisition by students of practical skills to work with problems encountered in quantum optics and quantum information theory (analysis of nonclassical correlations, analysis of quantum algorithms, analysis of quantum teleportation and confusion exchanges under realistic conditions, security analysis of cryptographic key quantum propagation protocols).
Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
Know the basic principles of classical mechanics, electrodynamics, quantum mechanics, thermodynamics and statistical physics, probability theory and mathematical statistics, linear algebra, quantum optics, including the representation of quantum phase space and the theory of quantum optical measurements (photodetection, homodyne and eight-port detection). Be able to apply previous knowledge from the courses of mathematical analysis, probability theory, quantum mechanics and quantum optics to calculate the distributions of quasi-probabilities in phase space for typical quantum states of optical fields. Have the skills of analysis of quantum optical experimental schemes.
Course content
The normative discipline "Theory of Quantum Informatics and Quantum Optics" is a component of the cycle of professional training of specialists of educational and qualification level "Master of Physics". The course is designed to provide students with practical skills in working with basic problems encountered in this discipline such as analysis of quantum systems for nonclassical correlations, analysis of quantum algorithms for discrete and continuous variables, quantum analysis protocols.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The total amount of 90 hours, including: Lectures - 30 hours. Independent work - 60 hours.
Assessment methods and criteria
The control is carried out according to the module-rating system, which consists of 2 content modules. The knowledge assessment system includes current and modular control of knowledge. Forms of current control: oral answers, assessment of homework. The final control is carried out in the form of a test (20 points). The student can get a maximum of 80 points for homework and 20 points for the test. A student is not admitted to the test if he / she received less than 48 points during the semester assessment. The credit score cannot be less than 12 points. The credit is not required if the student received more than 60 points during the semester assessment.
