Ultracold Quantum Matter (UQUAM)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2013, Date de fin: 30 juin 2019,
Quantum mechanics is the basis of our understanding of the microscopic world. It is also central to the collective behaviour of matter at low temperatures, leading to unique properties that defy our classical intuition. The comprehension of such ‘quantum matter’ and the ability to master it using a newly developing set of ‘quantum technologies’ is not only of fundamental interest but holds the p ...

Origins of integrability in AdS/CFT correspondence (AdS-CFT-solvable)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2013, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2018,
Fundamental interactions in nature are well described by quantum gauge fields in 4 space-time dimensions (4d). When the strength of gauge interaction is weak the Feynman perturbation techniques are very efficient for the description of most of the experimentally observable consequences of the Standard model and for the study of high energy processes in QCD.But in the intermediate and strong coupli ...

Psycho-semantics: new data for formal semantics models, stronger frameworks for experimental studies (SemExp)
Date du début: 1 mai 2013, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2018,
Formal semantics provides rigorous, explicit models of linguistic meaning. Such models also include an account of the possible interactions between language and reasoning abilities. Over the last decade, thanks to the joint efforts of linguists and psychologists, experimental techniques have entered the field of formal semantics. With this methodological step forward, the field has become a full-f ...

Date du début: 1 oct. 2013, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2017,
"Subduction zones play a fundamental role in our daily life. Half of the world population lives on top or nearby one of them, in coastal areas repeatedly devastated by large earthquakes, tsunamis or volcanic eruptions. Giant earthquakes occurring on subduction zone mega-thrusts (Mw close to 9 or larger) are indeed amongst the deadliest natural hazards. During the last decade, very large earthquake ...

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive form of glioma, the most common primary brain cancer in adults. GBM is highly resistant to standard radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatments and thus represents a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Although many genetic alterations have been identified for GBM, its histogenesis is still poorly understood. The relative contribution of each gen ...

"Quantum field theory plays a prominent role in our understanding of many phenomena in physics, from condensed matter physics to particle physics. The standard approach to quantum field theory relies on perturbation theory that is a powerful tool only when the system is weakly coupled and for most of the models, exact results are not accessible. This research project aims at developing and exploit ...
