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. ...
MATH-410: Riemann surfacesThis course is an introduction to the theory of Riemann surfaces. Riemann surfaces naturally appear is mathematics in many different ways: as a result of analytic continuation, as quotients of complex domains under discontinuous group actions, as algebraic ...
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. ...
PHYS-314: Quantum physics IIThe aim of this course is to familiarize the student with the concepts, methods and consequences of quantum physics. ...
MATH-512: Optimization on manifoldsWe develop, analyze and implement numerical algorithms to solve optimization problems of the form min f(x) where x is a point on a smooth manifold. To this end, we first study differential and Riemannian geometry (with a focus dictated by computational con ...
PHYS-100: Physique avancée I (mécanique)La Physique Générale I (avancée) couvre la mécanique du point et du solide indéformable. Apprendre la mécanique, c'est apprendre à mettre sous forme mathématique un phénomène physique, en modélisant la situation et appliquant les lois de la physique. ...
CS-308: Introduction to quantum computationThe course introduces the paradigm of quantum computating in an axiomatic way. We introduce the notions of quantum bits, gates, and circuits. We introduce themost important quantum algorithms. We also touch upon error-correcting codes. This course is indep ...
MATH-502: Distribution and interpolation spacesThe goal of this course is to give an introduction to the theory of distributions and cover the fundamental results of Sobolev spaces including fractional spaces that appear in the interpolation theory. Those notions are central to the study of partial dif ...
CH-250: Mathematical methods in chemistryThis course consists of two parts. The first part covers basic concepts of molecular symmetry and the application of group theory to describe it. The second part introduces Laplace transforms and Fourier series and their use for solving ordinary and partia ...
MATH-422: Introduction à la géométrie riemannienneLa géométrie riemannienne est un (peut-être le) chapitre central de la géométrie différentielle et de la géométriec ontemporaine en général. Le sujet est très riche et ce cours est une modeste introduction aux bases du sujet. ...
PHYS-467: Machine learning for physicistsMachine learning and data analysis are becoming increasingly central in sciences including physics. In this course, fundamental principles and methods of machine learning will be introduced and practised. ...
MATH-479: Linear algebraic groupsThe aim of the course is to give an introduction to linear algebraic groups and to give an insight into a beautiful subject that combines algebraic geometry with group theory. ...
MATH-476: Optimal transportThe first part is devoted to Monge and Kantorovitch problems, discussing the existence and the properties of the optimal plan. The second part introduces the Wasserstein distance on measures and develops applications of optimal transport to PDEs, functiona ...
