Abstract

Ce manuel d’enseignement présente les principaux éléments de l’acoustique physique. Une approche didactique a été privilégiée, les thèmes présentés étant abordés par le biais d’une description d’objets courants extraits par exemple de la lutherie, de l’environnement, de l’industrie ou de la physiologie. L’auteur introduit par ailleurs quelques méthodes numériques nécessaires à la résolution de problèmes plus complexes, tout en mettant l’accent à l’aide de calculs élémentaires sur les bases essentielles de cette discipline. Cet ouvrage regroupe ainsi dans un ensemble cohérent et synthétique les bases physiques et numériques de l’acoustique et il sensibilise le lecteur à divers problèmes d’optimisation illustrés de cas pratiques.

Ensemble interpretation

The ensemble interpretation of quantum mechanics considers the quantum state description to apply only to an ensemble of similarly prepared systems, rather than supposing that it exhaustively represents an individual physical system. The advocates of the ensemble interpretation of quantum mechanics claim that it is minimalist, making the fewest physical assumptions about the meaning of the standard mathematical formalism. It proposes to take to the fullest extent the statistical interpretation of Max Born, for which he won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1954.

Ensemble Kalman filter

The ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) is a recursive filter suitable for problems with a large number of variables, such as discretizations of partial differential equations in geophysical models. The EnKF originated as a version of the Kalman filter for large problems (essentially, the covariance matrix is replaced by the sample covariance), and it is now an important data assimilation component of ensemble forecasting.

Squeezed coherent state

In physics, a squeezed coherent state is a quantum state that is usually described by two non-commuting observables having continuous spectra of eigenvalues. Examples are position and momentum of a particle, and the (dimension-less) electric field in the amplitude (phase 0) and in the mode (phase 90°) of a light wave (the wave's quadratures). The product of the standard deviations of two such operators obeys the uncertainty principle: and , respectively.
