S. Cenatiempo: Quantum Mechanics at our scale: a mathematical challenge

Amphi

While the theory of quantum mechanics describes interactions between constituents of matter at the microscopic scale, the effects of these interactions may lead to fascinating quantum mechanics phenomena at a macroscopic scale. The discovery of such phenomena, including superfluidity and superconductivity as two pioneering examples, has led to extraordinary developments in realizing new materials that exploit the principles of quantum mechanics to exhibit innovative behaviours. In these lectures, we will discuss the challenge of developing mathematical models that rigorously describe how these macroscopic effects emerge from the microscopic scale, focusing on the paradigmatic example of the interacting Bose gas.

Boat trip on the Moselle river and hike at Saint Quentin Mount

We will take a boat to reach the bottom of Mont Saint Quentin, do a hike of about 1:30, and come back to the town center with a bus. The meeting point at the boat stop Ponton Metz’O Moyen Pont (Below rue de la garde). Please be punctual, the boat will not wait for us.
