Next events

Frontiers in Non-equilibrium Physics 2024
July 1, 2024 - Aug. 2, 2024 , Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics, Kyoto University, Japan

We are organizing a long-term workshop focusing on non-equilibrium physics. The second and third weeks will be dedicated to topics related to stochastic and quantum thermodynamics. The fourth week will focus on active matter, non-reciprocal transitions, and the Mpemba effect. The fifth week will concentrate on the jamming and rheology of dense materials. We look forward to your participation!

Emergence of Classicality: New Perspectives on Measurements in Quantum Theory
July 15, 2024 - July 19, 2024 , Trinity College Dublin, Ireland

Abstract submission (posters & talks) is now open for our conference: Emergence of Classicality 2024. Submit here: https://forms.gle/6THsEp2btaDHFtHg9 We will discuss deep questions around quantum measurements, with talks on quantum information, paradoxes, closed system-environment interaction, and experimental quantum thermodynamics. Invited speakers: Časlav Brukner Nicole Yunger Halpern Lina Jansson Jarosław Korbicz V. Vilasini Howard Wiseman (and more!) See you in Dublin!

QTD2024: Quantum Thermodynamics Conference 2024
Aug. 5, 2024 - Aug. 9, 2024 , University of Maryland, College Park, USA (in person + hybrid)

We are pleased to announce that a north American team led by Luis Pedro García-Pintos at LANL, has agreed to organise QTD2024 at the University of Maryland. The dates are now fixed to 5-9 August 2024 (i.e. NOT in July). The event will be in person with a hybrid option. Please put the dates in your diary. The conference webpage is here: https://qtd2024.umd.edu/ Look out for details of when/how to submit contributions, which will be posted here.

Positions

Postdoctoral Research Associate in Stochastic Thermodynamics with Levitated Particles
March 20, 2024 - April 22, 2024 , King's College London

We are looking for a theorist to join an experimental group studying stochastic thermodynamics with levitated microparticles - position duration 3-5 years. Contact james.millen@kcl.ac.uk

PhD position at Chalmers: Dynamics of spins and chiral phonons
March 11, 2024 - April 2, 2024 , Chalmers

We offer a four-year PhD position in the Geilhufe group at Chalmers. This opportunity is part of a research initiative on emergent magnetic phenomena due to the coupling of spin and laser-excited chiral phonons. The overarching goal is to derive coupling mechanisms between phonons and spin, e.g., based on inertial effects and estimate their strengths and impact in realistic setups. This information is crucial for understanding the complex phase diagram of materials outside of equilibrium.

Postdoc position at Chalmers: Ultrafast Thermodynamics
March 11, 2024 - April 8, 2024 , Chalmers, Gothenburg, Sweden

We offer a 2+1-year PostDoc position in the Geilhufe group at Chalmers. This opportunity is part of a research initiative centered on investigating thermodynamic properties in laser-excited materials. The overarching goal is to study the entropy and heat production associated with material excitations (such as phonons and magnons) in the presence of thermal and quantum noise. The goal is to use this information for understanding the complex phase diagram of materials outside of equilibrium.

Postdoctoral position on COMPLEX QUANTUM SYSTEMS at IFISC
Feb. 1, 2024 - Feb. 28, 2024 , Institute for Cross-Disciplinary Physics and Complex Systems (IFISC), Mallorca, Spain

We offer a 2-years contract starting by fall 2024 (aprox.) associated to the project “CoCuSy” lead by PIs Prof. Roberta Zambrini, Dr. Gian-Luca Giorgi and Dr. Gonzalo Manzano. Project topics are (to focus preferably in two): Open Quantum Systems, Quantum Thermodynamics, Quantum Neural Networks, Quantum Reservoir Computing. Previous experience on the topics, scientific independence and ability to work in group will be valuable. See full announcement for application instructions.

PhD and Postdoc positions at the University of Helsinki
Jan. 26, 2024 - Feb. 14, 2024 , University of Helsinki

We offer 1 PhD (4 years) and 1 Postdoc (1 year + renewable up to 4) position at the University of Helsinki in the Helteq group led by Prof. Sabrina Maniscalco, starting in early 2024. The successful candidates will work on one (or more) of the following research topics in open quantum systems and thermodynamics: quantum thermalization; intersection between open quantum systems and thermodynamics; mathematical description of Lindblad master equations and their symmetries.
