One-week school: Quantum thermodynamics meets quantum transport
Nov. 11, 2024 - Nov. 15, 2024 , Chalmers, Gothenburg, Sweden

We organize a school on quantum thermodynamics at the interface with quantum transport. There will be lectures on the basics of quantum thermodynamics in the context of quantum transport, on quantum batteries and on quantum resource theories. These topics are essential to understand the fundamental components of the energy consumption of quantum devices. A list of lecturers, the featured topics and more information to register can be found on the website above.

Quantum Thermodynamics Down Under 2024
Nov. 12, 2024 - Nov. 15, 2024 , Brisbane, QLD, Australia

We are excited to announce that Quantum Thermodynamics Down Under is back this year in Brisbane, Australia. QTDU2024 will again showcase quantum thermodynamics research from Australia, the Asia-Pacific region and further afield. Topics include (but are not limited to): fundamental questions in quantum thermodynamics; quantum thermal machines and fluctuation theorems; and connections to other fields (e.g., biology, relativity) and industry. Abstract submissions are open until Jun 28 2024.

Postdoc and PhD/Master intern positions available - Thermodynamics of quantum open systems
Sept. 10, 2024 - Dec. 31, 2024 , LPCT, Nancy, France

We are opening a postdoc and a PhD positions as part of the ERC Starting Grant project 'QARNOT', led by Cyril Elouard and starting in January 2025. The project concerns thermodynamics of autonomous and open quantum systems. We also welcome applications from final year Master students who would like to do an internship in the team before starting a PhD. For more information and application, please write at: cyril.elouard[at]univ-lorraine.fr.

Postdoc position - Nonequilibrium statistical physics in quantum materials
May 29, 2024 , Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden

We invite applications for a postdoctoral research position in nonequilibrium statistical physics and condensed matter theory within Matthias Geilhufe's group at Chalmers University of Technology. Our research focuses on quantum materials, exploring symmetry, topology, non-equilibrium dynamics, and stochastic processes. This opportunity is part of a broader research initiative on investigating material excitations far from equilibrium within the emerging field of ultrafast thermodynamics.

Doctoral student in Physics within the discipline of experimental nanothermodynamics
May 28, 2024 - June 14, 2024 , Department of Physics, Lund University, Sweden

This specific position focuses on conducting experimental investigations of heat fluctuations in nanoscale heat engines as a means toward demonstrating an energetic advantage of quantum systems over their classical counterparts, and further providing proof-of-concept groundwork for heat-management schemes in quantum technologies where waste heat generated during quantum operations could be converted into useful electrical energy.
