Course title: (unknown)
Name in Polish: Quantum Information and Quantum Many-Body Theory
Organizational unit: Faculty of Physics
Course groups: (in Polish) Physics (Studies in English), 2nd cycle; courses from list "Topics in Contemporary Physics"
(in Polish) Physics (Studies in English); 2nd cycle

ECTS credit allocation (and other scores): 6.00 Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles:
  • the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS;
  • the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h;
  • 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes;
  • weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS;
  • work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.

Short description: (in Polish)

The goal of the course to provide the students with a blended learning approach to the course content on Quantum Information and Quantum Many-Body Theory. The course will consist of online lectures, group projects on suggested topics and a summer school that will take place in Copenhagen in June 2024. The course is organized within the 4EU+ collaboration. The participation in the summer school of up to 9 students will supported financially by the university.

Full description: (in Polish)

The course will consist of three phases.

Phase 1: Online Lectures.

There will be 7/8 online lectures that will take place on Thursdays late in the afternoon. A tentative list of topics includes:

- Entanglement/non-locality. Subjects: States, measurement, tensor product, maximally entangled state, reduced states, density matrices, Bell-inequalities, Bell’s Theorem, Non-local games/protocols, entanglement measures...

- Quantum spin-system. Subjects: Spin Hamiltonians, ground states, ground state energy, free energy, thermodynamic limit, spectral gap, Heisenberg model, Lieb-Schultz-Mattis Theorem, AKLT, ...

Phase 2: group projects.

Students will be asked to work in groups on a suggested topic. Their work will be presnted in the form of a poster presentation during the summer school (see below).

Phase 3: summer school in Copenhagen.

The course will end with a in-person summer school in Copenhagen in June 2024 (tentative dates: June 24-28th). During the summe school students will participate in courses provided by world leading experts on topics that have been introduced during Phase 1. The participation in the summer school of up to 9 students will supported financially by the university.
