MSE-421: Statistical mechanicsThis course presents an introduction to statistical mechanics geared towards materials scientists. The concepts of macroscopic thermodynamics will be related to a microscopic picture and a statistical
PHYS-619: Many-Body Approaches to Quantum FluidsStarting from a microscopic description, the course introduces to the physics of quantum fluids focusing on basic concepts like Bose-Einstein condensation, superfluidity, and Fermi liquid theory.
PHYS-431: Quantum field theory IThe goal of the course is to introduce relativistic quantum field theory as the conceptual and mathematical framework describing fundamental interactions.
PHYS-512: Statistical physics of computationThe students understand tools from the statistical physics of disordered systems, and apply them to study computational and statistical problems in graph theory, discrete optimisation, inference and m
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
PHYS-746: Before and Behind the Standard ModelThe course offers a conceptually and methodologically advanced overview of the Standard Model and of some of its extensions. It provides the students with the basic tools and with the first elements o
PHYS-817: SupersymmetrySupersymmetry is the unique quantum extension of the symmetry principles of relativity.
This course offers a first but broad introduction covering the role of Supersymmetry in our understanding of bot
MATH-606: Statistical Field TheoryThe goal of this class is to teach how to look at two-dimensional field theories, how to analyse them, how to put structures on them. In the end, the student should have a good picture into what we un
