Online NITheP Workshop “Quantum Thermodynamics” (23-27 November 2020)
NITheP Workshop
“Quantum Thermodynamics”
23-27 November 2020, (Durban, South Africa)
This workshop was initially planned to happen in Durban, South Africa, as a vibrant way of strengthening Quantum Thermodynamics in South Africa, and also to incentive and inspire students. Do to the COVID pandemic, we decided to switch to an online conference/event, as many other events did.
We think it is important to maintain the community active and communicative. Additionally, online webinar and talks represent a precious resource for the whole scientific community, especially for those of us who are sometimes prevented from travelling because of economic or visa-related reasons.
Although tremendous progress over the past decade, quantum thermodynamics is largely considered to still be in its foundational stage – active debates around essential concepts such as heat and energy testify of that. This workshop will try to cover most of the currently very discussed and debated topics in quantum thermodynamics, which ends up being of the interest of most “quantum thermodynamists” or even most “quantum informationists”. Enjoy!
Attendance registration: If you would like to attend the workshop, please fill in the registration form, and we will send the Zoom link.
