Offered as a credit-bearing course for graduate students, the “Frontiers of Condensed Matter Physics (FCMP)” lectures are open to undergraduates, postdoctoral students and senior researchers.
Organized by Yasutomo J. Uemura, professor of physics at Columbia University and an Alliance visiting professor at the École Polytechnique, the lecture series will bring together experts in topics including unconventional superconductors, novel magnetic systems, and spintronics, among others. Sessions will alternate between the Paris Center and the École Polytechnique in Palaiseau. When the lectures do not take place at the Paris Center, they will be simulcast live to the Grande Salle.
All talks will also be simultaneously broadcast to Columbia University, the Paul Scherrer Institute (Switzerland), and the International Center for Theoretical Physics (Italy). Participating students and researchers will have access to videos of the lectures, as well as to more than 200 previous FCMP lectures archived on a password-protected website.
Lecture dates: Fridays from September 8 to December 15
Simulcast details: All lectures will be simulcast to graduate course GR6026 at Columbia University in New York at Pupin Hall 329. 8:10 – 10:45 AM/ET
