⭐️Second session schedule (May 7) ⭐️Part 2- 17:00. Khrystyna Gnatenko: “Quantum Approaches to Network Analysis”Quantum programming departs significantly from the classical paradigm, as it is built upon the non-classical behavior of quantum systems and leverages these effects for information processing. In this context, we outline the core concepts underlying quantum computation and introduce the basic set of one- and two-qubit quantum gates. Additionally, we explore original quantum algorithms aimed at investigating structural and functional properties of networks using quantum devices. A particular focus is placed on multi-qubit states that admit a graph-based description, including bipartite and tripartite structures, as well as weighted graph models . Such states, commonly referred to as quantum graph states, form a central topic in quantum information science, as they provide an intuitive and powerful representation of complex multi-qubit systems and play an essential role in areas such as quantum computation, secure communication, and error-correcting protocols. - 17:15. Yuriy Eliyashevskyy: “Ferroelectric crystals: new materials for solar energy.”Ferroelectric crystals are emerging as promising materials for new types of solar cells. Their built‑in polarization creates strong electric fields that help separate charge carriers and can enable solar cells to exceed the Shockley–Queisser efficiency limit. These materials can also generate photovoltages higher than their band gap, which is not possible in conventional semiconductors. With their switchable polarization and easily tunable properties, ferroelectrics offer several new pathways for improving solar‑energy technologies. - 17:30. Anton Goncharenko: “Perspective calcium phosphate biomaterials for bone repair”The report presents an overview of advanced calcium phosphate biomaterials synthesized at the Department of Solid State Physics under the supervision of Prof. Z. Z. Zyman. The developed calcium phosphate nanomaterials are highly promising for the fabrication of ceramics with enhanced physicochemical properties, as well as for applications in drug delivery systems. Functional gradient materials, characterized by a gradual change in phase composition from the surface to the bulk, offer significant advantages over conventional biomaterials. Several types of bone cement have successfully been tested on animals. Needle-like hydroxyapatite crystals have been used as reinforces to improve the mechanical properties of both calcium phosphate ceramics and cements. 💻  Event chat
