Courses in English (course group defined by Faculty of Physics)

The main goal of the Laboratory is to introduce students to the experimental methods used in various branches of physics. Version A - 3 exercises.

The corse discusses various selected topics in quantum mechanics typically not included in basic courses. The emphasis is put on physical aspects not on a mathematical rigor.

Dynamics of the atmosphere and the ocean as dynamics of thin layer of fluid on rotating sphere. Similarities and differences between the atmosphere and the ocean. Primitive equations. Interpretation of geophysical flows in the atmosphere and the ocean. Filtering of equations. Geostrophic and quasi-geostrophic approximations. Waves in the atmosphere and in the ocean. Energetics of atmospheric circulations.

Lecture on electrodynamics in English. Introduction to basic concepts and mathematical tools of electrodynamics used to find electric and magnetic fields from given distribution of charges and currents and to describe electromagnetic waves in vacuum and in dielectrics.

The summer semester 2024 starts with the explanation of WIlsonian concept of renormalization procedure for Hamiltonians, including simple, illustrative examples of its application, before it is generalized to enable one to handle bound states and proceed to a front form of Hamiltonian approach to the Standard Model with a host of new projects to tackle.

The whole yearly course introduces students to modern methods of constructing renormalized Hamiltonian operators of relativistic quantum field theory in application to particle and nuclear physics. The stress is put on addressing the conceptual issues of quantization, regularization, renormalization and evaluation of effective Hamiltonians, including implications of the discussed methods concerning computational strategies for solving dynamical problems, especially the relativistic bound state eigenvalue problems. In the non-relativistic limit, the methods a priori also apply to atomic and condensed matter physics.

This academic course aims at familiarizing students with the laser techniques which are applied for studies of atmosphere. It is assumed that after attending the course students will be able to navigate through the current English literature in the field. They will acquaint themselves with the basis of the laser techniques, their advantages and limitations, and will be able to utilize at least one of these techniques in practice.

This lecture is taught in English only, in hybrid form.
