Special Issue "Energy, Entropy, and Information in Nano- and Quantum-Electronics"
March 10, 2021 - Aug. 25, 2021 , Entropy

The fields of stochastic and quantum thermodynamics generalize the theory of thermodynamics to a regime where fluctuations and measurements play a fundamental role. Powerful results have been established in these fields, including fluctuation theorems and thermodynamic uncertainty relations. This Special Issue aims at providing a focus on modern developments in these highly exciting topics related to energy, entropy, and information in nano- and quantum-electronics.

Workshop on quantum thermodynamics -- QTh20
Nov. 23, 2020 - Nov. 27, 2020 , Online via Zoom

Dear all, the Quantum Research Group of the University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, with the support of the National Institute for Theoretical Physics (NITheP), is organising a workshop in quantum thermodynamics, 23-27 November 2020. Initially planned to take place in Durban, it was later transformed to an online workshop. Registrations are now open and free. Researchers interested in giving a contributing talk are welcome and asked to submit a title and abstract before 16 November.

Quantum Thermodynamics of Non-equilibrium Systems (QTDNEQ20)
Oct. 13, 2020 - Oct. 16, 2020 , Online

The workshop will focus on new developments in the understanding of quantum thermodynamics in non-equilibrium systems, with emphasis on the meso- and nanoscopic scale. Special attention will go to possible implementations of proof-of-principle experiments of systems working in the quantum regime. We intend to bring together experts and younger researchers in the field of non-equilibrium quantum thermodynamics so as to stimulate exchange and discussions about the newest topics in the field.

Lake Como School on "Thermodynamics of quantum systems and processes"
Aug. 31, 2020 - Sept. 4, 2020 , Como, Italy

The goal of this school is to provide a broad yet technical overview of the emerging field of thermodynamics of quantum systems and processes, with a series of lectures given by leading experts in the field. The school is mainly addressed to PhD students, advanced master students and postdocs, and aims to train a new generation of researchers in a field that, in light of its emerging character, sees a shortage of specialized scientists.

"Quantum thermoelectrics and heat currents at the nanoscale" minicoloquium at the CMD2020GEFES
Aug. 31, 2020 - Sept. 4, 2020 , Madrid, Spain

The minicoloquium is enclosed in the "CMD2020GEFES Condensed Matter in Madrid" conference combining the biennial meetings of the Condensed Matter Divisions of the EPS and of the RSEF. It will provide an excellent opportunity for bringing together theoreticians and experimentalists from different fields such as molecular electronics, quantum dots and metallic nanocontacts, all working under the common umbrella of thermal conductance and thermoelectricity. Abstract submission is open.
