Mécanique quantique
by Jean Dalibard , Philippe Grangier , Manuel Joffre , Mathieu de Naurois- 4.8
Approx. 22 hours to complete
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. Ce cours constitue une première introduction à la mécanique quantique....
