About the Department
Address:
12, Drahomanov St.,
Lviv, UA-79005, Ukraine
The Department of Theoretical Physics was founded in 1872. Famous representatives of the scientific school include: Marian Smoluchowski, Stanisław Loria, Leopold Infeld, Wojciech Rubinowicz, Vasyl Milianczuk, Abba Glauberman, Samuil Kaplan, Ihor Yukhnovskii, Mykhailo Senkiv, Roman Gaida, Ihor Stasyuk, Lavrentiy Blazhyevskyi, Ivan Vakarchuk, Volodymyr Tkachuk.
Presently, the Department for Theoretical Physics conducts research in the following scientific fields: quantum information, quantum computers and quantum programming, quantum statistical physics, physical systems in quantized space, supersymmetry in quantum mechanics, classical inhomogeneous systems, history and philosophy of science, interdisciplinary studies.
The department organizes the annual scientific conference “Christmas Discussions” (January) and the Workshop on Current Problems in Physics (Zielona Góra, Poland – Lviv). It has links with scientists from Poland, Belgium, Austria, Slovakia, France, India.

Prof. Paweł Horodecki will give a seminar in Lviv
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...
