As an example, on second lecture you will learn about BB84 quantum key distribution. On this concept we will explain what quantum state is, what is a quantum measurement, and we will learn how to implement BB84 using the Quiskit Python library. In this way we avoid boring monothematical blocks of mathematics.
  
  This course will be in future followed by two advanced courses. The second course will introduce all necessary concepts of quantum information processing – necessary concepts from mathematics, physics and informatics, so that student will have all theoretical knowledge necessary to work with quantum information processing. The third course will explain the applications of quantum information processing in full scale – communication, algorithms, cryptography, NP-approximation, machine learning, simulation of physical and chemical systems.

• prof. PhDr. Ing. Miloslav Dokulil, DrSc.
• Prerequisities: The course presupposes some interest in general problems of science (as knowledge of the world and life in it). It is recommended to follow by Philosophy of Science II. We should at last understand this intellectula evolution as a breathtaking "exponential" of this time.(In the preceding years, the "talk-show" method has been applied for the introduction of new contemporaneous knowledge as being systematically integrated.)
• Goals: Science is a specific activity of man. It covers induction, deduction, category of quantity, causality, criteria of verification since the beginning of the 17th century till the start of the 20th century, to enable an understanding of the exponential development of science beginning in the 20th century.
• Learning outcomes: The student will thereby have a better understanding and interpretation of the exponential develompent of science in the 20th and 21st centuries. Science as a sspecific institution started to slowly exist beginning in the 16th and 17th centuries; which the student will be able to compare with our contemporaneity.
• Syllabus: Introduction: "Time boundaries" in general.
  Birth of science as a modern phenomenon, its problems, methods and criteria. Presuppositions to a "paradigmatically" new perspective to the world and human tradition.
  The geocentric problem as a confrontation of sensual absurdity with the necessity of adequately describing it and thus enabling its prediction. (From scholastic solutions to a definite break with the Aristotelian tradition.)
  From sublunar steps to the first big jump into the supralunar world.
  What, and how, is reality? Is its adequate clue empirism, or rationalism?
  Encyclopedia as a product of Enlightenment.
  Hume's skepsis over causality. Laws and probability.
  Physiocratism as a projection of an "harmonic order", at the same time as a first model application in economics.
  The positivist experiment in trying to change the world by the force of ideas. The initial variants of physicalism.
  Problem of humanities at the end of 19-th century. (Is it possible to apply the natural-science criteria in humanities?)
  "Rationally" fighting "fiction", or does the invisible exist?
  Einstein's and Planck's shade.
  An awkward look back and forward on the threshold of the third millennium.
  The beginning of the philosophy of science.

VB010 Philosophy of Language and Its Problems I

z 2/0 2 kr., jaro

• prof. PhDr. Ing. Miloslav Dokulil, DrSc.
• Prerequisities: The course presupposes an interest in questions connected with language/speech, preceding logic or following from its analysis, and being often interdisciplinary. We inherited "our" language so that it, in no small measure, exerts influence upon our perception and interpretation of reality.
• Goals: A logical and linguistic analysis of language, and both as a partial presupposition of a general ("philosophical") interest in language as a special human phenomenon. The relationships of language to the world and its sometimes doubtful interpretation has to be taken into account.
• Learning outcomes: The student will somehow acquire a better relationship to language. He more insistently will differ between formal and content requirements concerning its presentation.
• Syllabus: An introduction to the "philosophy of language", especially in its relation to logic and analytical philosophy.
  Is language only a misleading instrument? Is its postmodern interpretion directed?
  An aside: The expression "knowledge" and its connotations of meaning. To know What, That, How, Why. The knowledge of things and truths.
  Towards a theory of the world and language, as well as the mind, though in a preliminary way.
  A way towards a linguistic theory.
  Semiotics and semantics.
  Languages and a language.
  A sentence, a proposition, and "linguistic acts".
  The relationship of thinking towards the world, language, logic and consciousness. The "Twin Earth" thought experiment.
  Intention and convention.
  Things and properties, or also, truth and reality.
  Language and artificial intelligence. The so-called "Chinese Room Argument".

• Mgr. Antonín Zita, M.A., Ph.D.
• Prerequisities: VB001
  VB001
• Goals: This course is designed to teach students the necessary skills that will enable them to proceed from sentence construction and paragraph writing to essay writing. The students will be familiarized with the writing of topic sentences, thesis statements, and different types of paragraphs and essays. The students will practice these steps of the writing process via in-class writing, text analysis, peer assessment, editing, and writing of a draft of the final essay. While some grammatical aspects of English used in the academia will be touched upon in the class, the students are expected to study individually in case they find their levels of knowledge not sufficient for class purposes. Importantly, however, mastering the variant of academic English used in computer science writing is not the primary objective of the class, as the class focuses on becoming familiar with formal written English as a means of expressing one's thoughts clearly and coherently. Nevertheless, many of the writing guidelines can be applied for computer science writing as well.
• Learning outcomes: Students will be able to construct a coherent and cohesive text written in standard academic English. They will be able to recognize that poor writing frequently results from a misuse of or over-reliance on certain language features, e.g. the passive voice, complex sentence structure, or nominalizations. Students will be then able to identify issues in a given text and suggest several ways of solving them. Finally, students will also understand that a text should follow a clear and well-organized structure, and they will also gain insight into drafting texts and their subsequent revisions.
• Syllabus: Basic academic English guidelines; academic vocabulary
  Paragraph writing - developing central idea, coherence, etc.
  Introduction and conclusion, thesis statement
  Writing your first draft
  Mechanics and clarity of writing
