Refroidissement d'atomes par laservignette|Schéma de refroidissement d'atomes par laser, refroidissement Doppler Le refroidissement d'atomes par laser est une technique qui permet de refroidir un gaz atomique, jusqu'à des températures de l'ordre du mK (refroidissement Doppler), voire de l'ordre du microkelvin (refroidissement Sisyphe) ou encore du nanokelvin. Les gaz ultra-froids ainsi obtenus forment une assemblée d'atomes cohérents, permettant d'accomplir de nombreuses expériences qui n'étaient jusque-là que des expériences de pensée, comme des interférences d'ondes de matière.
Resampling (statistics)In statistics, resampling is the creation of new samples based on one observed sample. Resampling methods are: Permutation tests (also re-randomization tests) Bootstrapping Cross validation Permutation test Permutation tests rely on resampling the original data assuming the null hypothesis. Based on the resampled data it can be concluded how likely the original data is to occur under the null hypothesis.
Acceptance samplingAcceptance sampling uses statistical sampling to determine whether to accept or reject a production lot of material. It has been a common quality control technique used in industry. It is usually done as products leave the factory, or in some cases even within the factory. Most often a producer supplies a consumer with several items and a decision to accept or reject the items is made by determining the number of defective items in a sample from the lot.
InquiryAn inquiry (also spelled as enquiry in British English) is any process that has the aim of augmenting knowledge, resolving doubt, or solving a problem. A theory of inquiry is an account of the various types of inquiry and a treatment of the ways that each type of inquiry achieves its aim. When three terms are so related to one another that the last is wholly contained in the middle and the middle is wholly contained in or excluded from the first, the extremes must admit of perfect syllogism.
