Abstract In the previous session, we hypothesized that the figure of the charlatan, in Enlightenment thought and culture, served to reflect changes in public space and scholarly authority. Today, we continue with a study of dictionaries and encyclopedias …

Abstract The last two lectures go back to the source of the notion of " strong spectral convergence ", and discuss the spectrum of large random Hermitian matrices of size NxN, drawn according to a Gaussian distribution (GUE model). The seminal work of …

Documents and media Download support Abstract Continuous-variable quantum information and communication technologies rely on encoding information in the amplitude and phase quadratures of the field. Nonlinear parametric processes enable the generation of …

Abstract Raising our eyes to that which looks down on us : such is the power of places of power. Theoretical reflection on the medieval locus enriches this anthropology of authority, which encourages those who live in the shadow of this sovereign gaze to …

Abstract This general introduction to the political semantics of places of power in the Middle Ages takes the form of an interrogation of the " mise en beauté " of Jean de Berry's power in the first decade of the XV th century through the representation …

Documents and media Download support Abstract After setting out the general background and lecture plan, this first lecture will introduce the spin formalism ½, a model system for describing quantum information bits (qubits). It is used to describe qubits …
