6th Nottingham Workshop on Quantum Non-Equilibrium Dynamics

Open Quantum Systems: Learning, Control and Thermodynamics

This event is hosted by the Centre for the Mathematics and Theoretical Physics of Quantum Non-Equilibrium Systems (CQNE) at the University of Nottingham, which provides an overarching framework to coordinate activities in the area of non-equilibrium physics and to facilitate interactions between our local and the wider communities in this field. The upcoming workshop is the sixth in a series that began in 2013. It aims to highlight current trends in the theory of complex quantum systems and the modelling of quantum technologies. Specific topics range from fundamental challenges in predicting the behaviour of quantum systems out of equilibrium, understanding the principles that limit the information that can be learned about such systems through measurements, statistical methods to describe open quantum systems and their relation to the laws of thermodynamics, and the development of novel concepts for quantum devices designed to process information, enable high-precision measurements, or deliver power and cooling at small length and energy scales. With a strong emphasis on early career researchers, the workshop seeks to bring together a vibrant and diverse community. In addition to the scheduled talks, the program includes ample time for discussion and cross-disciplinary exchange.
