Science festival

Information presented in some of the lectures will be necessary to solve the problems of the ISPhO.

The lecture we're starting with is "Cold atoms and ions in traps" by Dr. Ksenia Khabarova. She'll be talking about miracles in the world of quantum technologies, like how and why to trap and cool atoms and ions.

What makes plasma of large intensity?

How and why to treat plasma as a superconductor?

Why we have to confine hot plasma?

Let's find out about this and much more about plasma physics in our lecture!

We prepared a mini-review of tunneling and the technology that enables the manufacturing of a tunneling junction. We also present two problems related to quantum devices that operate based on these principles.

The Academic Committee of the Olympiad recommends watching an important lecture from the last year "On the basics of semiconductors physics" by PhD in Physics and Mathematics, Head of Laboratory on New Materials for IR Photonics at Lebedev Physical Institute Sergei Nikolaev. We'll look at this topic from the history of semiconductors and to the basic concepts and new horizons opened up after the discovery of graphene.
