Frontiers in Nonequilibrium Physics 2026
May 11, 2026 - May 14, 2026 , Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics, Kyoto University, Japan

We are organizing an international workshop focusing on nonequilibrium physics, including quantum thermodynamics, stochastic thermodynamics, active matter, soft matter, mathematical physics, and machine learning. This meeting will provide an excellent opportunity to gain an overview of the current state of the field, exchange ideas across communities, and discuss future directions of nonequilibrium research. We look forward to your participation!

Midsummer Conference on Open Quantum Systems, Decoherence, and the Quantum-to-Classical Crossover
June 15, 2026 - June 18, 2026 , Helsinki, Finland

The goal of this conference is to bring together researchers working on open quantum systems and/or the quantum-to-classical crossover. While work combining both fields is welcome, contributions focused on the fundamental aspects of either area are equally valued. Indeed, we believe that studying the fundamentals of each topic can spark interest among both communities. The conference aims to provide a space where results and ideas can be shared, even when they come from different perspectives.

Postdoc position in Quantum Thermodynamics at Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics
March 19, 2026 - June 6, 2026 , Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics, Kyoto University, Japan

We invite applications for a 2.5-year postdoctoral position associated with the project 'Elucidating Universal Constraints on Speed, Accuracy, and Cost Rooted in Complexity'. The successful candidate will work with Tan Van Vu at the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics. The project explores fundamental questions at the interface of quantum thermodynamics, quantum information theory, and quantum many-body physics. For enquiries, please contact: tan.vu@yukawa.kyoto-u.ac.jp

Two Postdoc positions to work on Open Quantum-Classical Dynamics
Feb. 25, 2026 - March 29, 2026 , University of St. Andrews and University of Exeter

The successful applicants will work on developing techniques for modelling open quantum systems that are strongly interacting with their environment. The focus will be on making calculations more efficient by introducing an element of classicality into quantum models, or vice versa, upgrade classical models with a minimal quantum top-up. Position references: St. Andrews (AR3241) Exeter (Q13294) Applications to both positions are very much encouraged. Deadline: 27 March 2026.

Postdoc position
Jan. 21, 2026 - Feb. 21, 2026 , Singapore University of Technology and Design & Centre for Quantum Technologies

The group of Dario Poletti has an opening for Research Fellow for 2 years (with potential for extension). The main research direction is many-body quantum systems out of equilibrium, with applications in quantum thermodynamics. Particular emphasis will be given to numerical simulations, e.g. tensor networks and/or neural quantum states, and potential collaboration with experimental groups.
