Matière condensée

The aim of this lecture is to provide a description of quantum transport in disordered systems, with an emphasis on important phenomena like weak localization, Anderson localization and the Anderson metal-insulator transition. During the lecture, a number of important theoretical tools needed to describe quantum particle scattering in the presence of spatial disorder will be introduced in a pedagogical fashion, such as the Green's function technique, diagrammatic approaches to weak localization and transfer matrices. The lectures will be also illustrated by experimental examples and tutorials, especially taken from the physics of quantum gases and  condensed matter.

The goal of this course is to introduce the main concepts and challenges of quantum computing, a new set of technologies and techniques that promise to solve hard computational problems.

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 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. 

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 provide an advanced view of the optical response of quantum materials.
