New Trends in Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics: Classical and Quantum Systems (nesmcq18)
July 25, 2018 - July 31, 2018 , Erice, Italy
The nonlinear relaxation process in many condensed matter systems proceeds through metastable states, giving rise to long-lived states. Stochastic many-body systems, classical and quantum, often display a complex and slow relaxation towards a stationary state. A common phenomenon in the dynamics of out of equilibrium systems is the metastability, and the problem of the lifetime of metastable states involves fundamental aspects of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics.

Ilya Prigogine Prize for Thermodynamics
July 25, 2018 - Feb. 1, 2019 , Barcelona, Spain
Call for Applications:
The Prigogine Prize for Thermodynamics consists of a diploma, a €2000 prize and the honor to deliver an invited talk at the next Joint European Thermodynamics Conference (JETC2019) in Barcelona. It is awarded every two years to a promising young researcher for his/her Ph.D. dissertation/thesis. All aspects and branches of thermodynamics are considered, from applied and experimental to the most theoretical, therefore, qtd topics are included and welcome.

Quantum Roundabout 2018
July 11, 2018 - July 13, 2018 , University of Nottingham
The conference is open to young researchers from universities all over the UK and overseas, and it is aimed to cover the mathematical foundations of three active research areas of quantum physics, all intimately interconnected, namely: Quantum Thermodynamics, Quantum Information theory and Quantum Estimation theory. Three leading researchers in these fields will give lectures/tutorials on cutting-edge topics. Moreover, a flexible programme with room for up to 24 short talks and poster session.

Quantum Thermodynamics and Transport
May 8, 2018 - May 11, 2018 , Mainz (Germany)
The purpose of this conference is to bring together researchers from the communities of condensed matter, statistical physics, quantum optics and atomic physics with the aim of discussing quantum effects on transport and thermodynamics. Topics: quantum heat and work, time-dependent drivings, thermoelectrics, quantum fluctuations, coherence and entanglement. The meeting will contribute to the understanding of fundamental properties of quantum matter out of equilibrium.

QTD website launch
Nov. 21, 2017 , hosted by IFISC
We are pleased to announce the QTD website
http://qtd.ifisc.uib-csic.es/
a platform for announcements of events and positions related to Quantum Thermodynamics. The QTD network connects at present ca 300 researchers in more than 32 countries.
The website is managed by IFISC (CSIC-UIB) and you are welcome to upload your announcements and to contribute to the 'Links' section (under construction).
