prof. Lenka Zdeborová: Physics of Computation [EN]
Algorithms are an indispensable tool behind many modern technologies. Many widely used algorithms, e.g. those used in machine learning when training artificial neural networks, are surrounded by mysteries and open questions. Our understanding of which practical problems are solvable with computers is still in its infancy. Physics gives us tools to unveil some of those mysteries and discover better algorithms. Phase transitions such as water freezing or evaporating play a key role in this adventure. If you want to know how physics is used in the domain of computer science and machine learning, come to listen.

MScR. B. Viliam Hakala: Crash Course of Material Chemistry [EN]
More than hundred years ago, basics of structural analysis were laid when x-rays were discovered. During 20th century, several Nobel Prizes were awarded for solutions of crystal structures of important compounds. These days, there is an increasing need for new magnetic, electronic, or electrochemical materials that can solve problems in modern science and technology. It was found that even the most basic materials can have interesting physical properties under extreme conditions, such as low temperatures or high pressures. In this talk we will have a look on how different materials behave under these conditions, describe experimental methods used to achieve them and discuss how the conditions influence the structures and properties of the materials.

Excursion abstracts
Astrophysics (Kosmická fyzika)
Within this block, we will get introduced to satellites whose twins were in space, and with lots of other exciting details regarding astrophysics.
Silicon detectors group (Detektory)
We will visit a workplace with a primary focus on experimental and particle physics regarding tests and simulations of silicon detectors.
Laboratory of Radiofrequency Spectroscopy (Rf. spektroskopie)
We will dig into the world of a research method called radiofrequency spectroscopy which finds its applications e.g. in a study of an atomic, electron, and magnetic structure of various substances and materials.
Surface physics group (Povrchy)
During the excursion we will get acquainted with the principles and tricks which enable us to figure the arrangement, chemical composition, and chemical properties of surfaces at an atomic level, and to learn how to configure them to perform best in practical applications.
