    Description 1. Fundamentals concepts . Mixes states, state operator, entropy
    1. Principes de base : états mixtes, opérateur densité et entropie
    2. Statistical ensembles : Ideal gas, specific heat of solids, thermal equilibrium
    2. Ensembles statistiques :gaz parfait, chaleur spécifique des solides et équilibre thermique
    3. Quantum statistics of the ideal gas: electrons in a metal and Bose-Einstein condensation
    3. Statistiques quantiques du gaz parfait: électrons dans un métal et condensation de Bose-Einstein
    4. Applications White dwarfs, supernovae and black holes
    4. Applications : naines blanches, supernovae et trous noirs

    Training objectives In this course students will learn the basics of statistical mechanics, such as ensemble theory, applications of quantum mechanics to statistical problems. Important concepts like bosons and fermions are treated as ideal gases and we shall discuss bose-einstein condensation phenomenon.
    The end result will allow students to have sound knowledge of the basic principles of quantum statistical mechanics, which is at the base of many further courses like condensed matter physics, super-conductivity etc.
