Course content

Friedmann cosmological models: Basic principles of relativistic cosmology, Friedmann equation, Robertson-Walker metrics, density and pressure, Hubble law, light propagation in Friedmann models, observational parameters of the universe, future of the universe, age of the observed objects, photometric distance and Hubble diagrams. Basics of quantum information: Moore's law and the limits of computation, the idea of quantum computation. Problems of constructing a quantum computer. Quantum bits, gates, reversibility of quantum computation, combination of quantum gates, quantum Fourier transform. Shor algorithm, factorization of numbers. Grover algorithm, search in unordered lists. Quantum cryptography, entanglement, quantum teleportation. An important part of the subject are presentations in which students inform on new ideas they read in contemporary scientific literature and discuss with their peers.

Learning outcomes
|
Bring to the students selected ideas of modern physical disciplines: basic ideas of standard cosmological model and quantum information theory. Improve their ability to get information of new results from contemporary literature and discuss it with their peers.
Comprehension Explain the essence of data and be able to interpret them, recognize and classify the given problem, predict the behaviour of the given phenomena.
