The theory group of the CERPEMA is composed of
about fifteen graduate students, five postdoctoral fellows and six
Faculty
members: C. Bourbonnais, L.G. Caron
(emeritus), R. Côté, K. Le Hur, D. Sénéchal
and A.-M.S.
Tremblay . It interacts with experimental
groups
working on low-dimensional organic conductors and magnets, as well as
high
temperature superconductivity, quantum Hall and mesoscopic systems.
In its study of mesoscopic and of strongly-correlated electron systems,
the theory group uses a variety of methods, both numerical (Quantum Monte Carlo, DMRG, Exact
diagonalizatons, cluster methods, etc.) and analytical (Renormalization group, bosonization,
functional methods, etc.).
About 20 000 students attend the University. It is located in a wooded
and hilly area that is ideal for the outdoors at any time of the year.
The City is a regional capital for about 250 000 people. It is well
connected to a highway network that makes large urban centers easily
accessible. Montréal is 90 minutes away, Québec City 130
minutes away and Boston can
be reached in five hours. The main language is French but English is
widely understood in commercial life.
