Je m'intéresse au comportement des électrons dans les cas où la théorie conventionnelle échoue, comme dans certains "matériaux quantiques" où les corrélations entre électrons sont fortes, tels les cuprates et les systèmes près d'un point critique quantique, ainsi qu'aux nouvelles formes de supraconductivité.
