Thesis topics
Title: Quantum algorithms in particle physics
Outline: Quantum computers are still small-scale noise devices. However, they are going to be enough powerful to perform proof-of-concept studies. One of the original proposals for quantum computers was to use them for simulation of other quantum systems. The goal of this thesis is a survey of the current quantum algorithms for particle physics and their basic description. An advanced student can perform his own demonstration on some relevant processes in particle physics. The specific thesis assignment is subject to agreement.
Language: English, Czech
Level: bachelor, master, doctoral
Title: Quantum technology security aspects
Outline: Quantum technologies promises many benefits but can also bring risks, in particular for security. This concerns security within societies but also international security. The goal of this thesis could be the risks investigation of the quantum algorithms in particular industries, specific military applications, security in space domain, etc. The specific thesis assignment is subject to agreement.
