PHYS-639: Field Theory in Condensed Matter PhysicsTopics covered: Superfluidity in weakly interacting Bose gas, the random phase approximation to the Coulomb interaction in the Jellium model, superconductivity within the random phase approximation, t
PHYS-550: Quantum information theoryAfter recapping the basics of quantum theory from an information
theoretic perspective, we will cover more advanced topics in
quantum information theory. This includes introducing measures of quantum
MSE-450: Electron microscopy: advanced methodsWith this course, the student will learn advanced methods in transmission electron microscopy, especially what is the electron optical setup involved in the acquisition, and how to interpret the data.
PHYS-725: Nanophotonics with cavities and antennasThe lecture, taught by Prof. Jean-Jacques Greffet, covers recent developments in the control of light-matter interaction at the nanoscale using resonant structures such as micro-cavities and antennas.
PHYS-758: Advanced Course on Quantum CommunicationThe aim of this doctoral course by Nicolas Sangouard is to lay the theoretical groundwork that is needed for students to understand how to take advantage of quantum effects for communication technolog
PHYS-720: Quantum Chaos and Black HolesThis class will introduce quantum chaos and it's connection to black holes and quantum gravity. We will first review chaos in classical mechanics, before turning to semi-classical chaos and random mat
MATH-612: Irregular transport and mixingWe will present the theory of PDEs and of transport equations with rough (non Lipschitz) velocity fields, address both the renormalisation theory by DiPerna-Lions-Ambrosio and its quantitative Lagrang
CH-444: Electronic spectroscopyThis course focuses on the electronic structure of atoms, diatomic and polyatomic molecules in order to understand their ultraviolet-visible absorption and photoelectron spectra.
