The goal of this course is to introduce the main methods in electronic structure theory, which is at the heart of our present capability of understanding, predicting, and engineering materials properties based on accurate in-silico solutions of the many-body Schrödinger equation for electrons and their coupling with the lattice/structural degrees of freedom. 

The main goal of this course is to present the different regimes of electronic transport in conductors and how quantum mechanical effects affect their resistance or conductance.

The main goal of this course is to cover the physics of light-matter interaction in the context of quantum devices, and materials at the nanoscale. This UE features both theoretical aspects in lectures and tutorials - possibly based on the analysis and discussion of recent research papers - and experimental projects (12h) on research grade experiments at the end of the semester. 

Recent years have seen enormous experimental progress in preparing, controlling and probing quantum systems in various regimes far from thermal equilibrium. Examples include systems as ultra-cold atomic quantum gases under time-dependent perturbations, driven non-linear cavity QED systems or strongly correlated electrons in solid-state materials under ultra-fast optical excitations.

The main goals of this course are to cover the fundamentals of the electronic properties of solids, and to provide the conceptual basis of selected modern experimental techniques used to investigate such properties.

This course gives an introduction to a choice of topics in condensed matter theory. 

This course covers advanced topics in Statistical Physics. It assumes a very good knowledge of the Statistical Physics concepts and methods taught in standard lectures at the M1 level.

Students performing a library-based project are expected to study a series of original research articles around a common subject, under the supervision of a senior researcher.

La théorie de la Relativité Générale est une modélisation des liens entre matière et gravitation à travers des équations reliant des objets géométriques.
