Theoretical Physics

This group studies different theoretical subjects, going from statistical physics to mathematical physics and condensed matter physics. This thematical diversity leads to many fruitful collaborations with the other teams of the laboratory. In addition, members of the theoretical group are strongly involved in the teaching program of the ENS Lyon.
