Mécanique quantique
Comme l'ont montré de plus en plus d'expériences effectuées dès le début du vingtième siècle, les lois de la mécanique newtonienne cessent d'être valables dès qu'on tente de les appliquer à très petite échelle, celle des atomes, des molécules ou des noyaux. On entre alors dans le domaine de la mécanique quantique, où les lois physiques prennent une tout autre nature qui a pu être formalisée de manière rigoureuse à la fin des années 1920. Cette véritable révolution intellectuelle est non seulement indispensable pour comprendre la véritable nature du monde physique, des particules élémentaires au big bang, mais elle est également à l'origine de la plupart des technologies modernes comme la micro-électronique, les lasers ou les télécommunications optiques. Ce cours constitue une première introduction à la mécanique quantique. En employant une approche historique et en s'appuyant sur une confrontation entre expériences et théorie, il vous permettra de comprendre les principes de base de la mécanique quantique et d'entrevoir quelques-unes de ses applications. Le cours se composera des huit séances ci-dessous. 1. Dualité onde-corpuscule 2. La fonction d'onde 3. Transformée de Fourier 4. De l'impulsion à l'hamiltonien 5. La particule quantique confinée 6. Mesures quantiques individuelles 7. Puis de potentiel à une dimension 8. Effet Tunnel
