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, the renormalization group analysis of non-linear-sigma mo ...
PHYS-432: Quantum field theory IIThe goal of the course is to introduce relativistic quantum field theory as the conceptual and mathematical framework describing fundamental interactions such as Quantum Electrodynamics. ...
HUM-315: Physics and philosophy in the 20th centuryPhilosophie de la nature : Physique et philosophie au XXe siècle.
Le cours traite les questions philosophiques que la physique soulève, en particulier les grandes théories physiques du XXe siècle, à savoir les théories de la relativité d'Einstein et la phy ...
PHYS-597: Specialisation semesterStudents have the opportunity to apply their knowledge in a project contributing to specialize them in a physics field. The project can take place in a laboratory at EPFL, in an external laboratory or in a research institute. ...
EE-201: Electromagnetics II : field computationCe cours traite de l'électromagnétisme dans le vide et dans les milieux continus. A partir des principes fondamentaux de l'électromagnétisme, on établit les méthodes de résolution des équations de Maxwell dans le vide et dans des milieux matériels complexe ...
PHYS-645: Physics of random and disordered systemsIntroduction to the physics of random processes and disordered systems, providing an overview over phenomena, concepts and theoretical approaches
Topics include:
Random walks; Roughening/pinning; Localization; Random matrix theory; Spin glasses; Disorder ...
MATH-605: Conformal bootstrap and Liouville conformal fieldThe course will focus on a probabilistic construction of a conformal field theory related to random Riemann surfaces, called the Liouville conformal field theory. The symmetries of the theory allow to express the n-point correlation functions in terms of 3 ...
