Research

Main topics of the scientific activity of Department of Astrophysics:

  • Diagnostics and photoionization modelling of the nebular environments (planetary nebulae, HII regions, diffuse ionized gas surrounding the star-forming regions)
  • Internal structure of the compact astrophysical objects (white dwarfs and neutron stars)
  • Structure and evolution of the Universe
  • Stellar atmospheres

Prof. Paweł Horodecki will give a seminar in Lviv

28.06.2024 | 15:19

On 3 July the prominent scientist in the field of quantum information, Paweł Horodecki, will give a seminar at Ivan Franko National University of Lviv.
The title of Prof. Paweł Horodecki’s talk is “Quantum Randomness, Determinism, and the Foundations of Science”.
The abstract can be found here.
Paweł Horodecki is the author of over 200 articles on quantum information theory and the fundamentals of quantum mechanics. He co-founded the National Quantum Information Centre in Gdańsk. He is the co-author of the Horodecki criterion (1996) for...
