In the Albanova Research and Training Center in Stockholm, from November 20 to December 14, an internship of a 5th-year student of the specialty "Computer Physics" of the Faculty of Physics and Information Technology Yauheni Halavin took place. Such internships of our students are an important element of cooperation of the Francisk Skorina Gomel State University with this center, which houses the departments of Physics and Physicotechnical profile of Stockholm University and the Royal Technical Higher School. Cooperation between Francisk Skorina Gomel State University and AlbaNova has been developing for more than 20 years. Five graduates of the Faculty of Physics continued their studies at Albanova: four master's theses and two Ph.D. theses in physics were defended (P. Verbickaja and K. Shiljaeva). Performing joint research, Albanova was visited by graduate students-physicists of GSU Yu. Grishechkin, S. Fialka, A. Shamyna, who then successfully defended their PhD theses at their native university. As students, A. Tolkachev and A. Buzhan were interned at Albanova, who are currently graduate students at GSU.

The director of the AlbaNova Center, academician, member of the Nobel Committee in Physics, professor, Honorary doctor of the Francisk Skorina Gomel State University, interacts most actively with our university Mats Larsson. Being the initiator of joint projects, programs, contracts, he has repeatedly lectured Gomel students and postgraduates on modern problems of physics, invited students, undergraduates, postgraduates and employees of our university to Sweden to carry out joint projects. In May of this year, a new cooperation agreement was signed at the Francisk Skorina Gomel State University and Albanovs.

He had an excellent opportunity to report and discuss the results of his own scientific research carried out under the supervision of Associate Professor of the Department of Theoretical Physics V. Kapshaja and Yauheni Halavin, who solves the problems of nonlinear phenomena in optics. He was also able to get acquainted with other promising areas of research in modern physics, listen to lectures by professors Albanova.

During the internship, the world-famous professor of the Royal Technical Higher School, Egor Babaev, was appointed the scientific supervisor of Yauheni Halavin. He has been leading a group on the study of superconductors for a long time. He was the first in the world to begin the theoretical study of two-component superconductors, which are currently being most actively studied by experimenters. He was the first in the world to begin the theoretical study of two-component superconductors, which are currently being most actively studied by experimenters. It was E.S. Babaev who for the first time theoretically predicted the existence of superconductors of the 1.5 kind (previously they knew about the existence of superconductors of the 1 and 2 kind), which was confirmed experimentally about two years after the publication of this result.

Under the guidance of Professor E.S. Babaev, Yauheni Halavin completed a project to calculate the coherence lengths of a type 1.5 superconductor. In addition, during his stay at the Albanov Research Center, a student of the State University got acquainted with the capabilities of the most modern equipment, studied the features of using graphic cards in computer modeling of physical processes, and also mastered the equivalent of the course "Theory of Superconductivity" of the Royal Technical Higher School.

In a little free time, Yauheni got acquainted with some of the sights of Albanov and Stockholm.
