KEY DATES
01/04/2017: On-line registration open
30/04/2017: Abstract for contributed talks submission deadline
The aim of this meeting is to bring together scientists interested in Quantum aspects of Thermalization, Quantum Transport, Quantum Effects in Macroscopic Systems (condensed matter, biology, etc.), Quantum Computation, Open Quantum Systems, Quantum Fluctuations and Large Deviations, and Quantum Thermodynamics.
Main speakers:
I am announcing 6th Working Group Meeting of COST Action MP1209 "Thermodynamics in the Quantum Regime". We have an excellent complement of speakers lined up and this meeting promises to be an exciting one.
The first Q+ Hangout of the year is on the 26th of January!
As usual, if you are watching with a group and want to reserve a seat in the hangout then leave a comment on the event page:

We also encourage individuals interested in active participation---which typically involves asking questions after the talk---to join the hangout. Otherwise you can watch on the livestream. Details follow.
Date: 5 pm UTC, 26th January, 2016.
Looking for fresh phd or experienced post-doctoral fellow to work in an experimental ion trap group having diverse projects. The candidates will be working on ion trap based quantum thermodynamics and quantum synchronization (2 separate position). The ion trap experiment is presently up and running (please consult the webpage for more information). Both the projects are adequately funded for next 3-4 years. The group is young and vibrant with international composition in the cosmopolitan setup of Singapore.
The position involves analytical and computational modelling of laser excitation of semiconductor quantum dots and other systems, devising schemes for the erasure of information stored in those systems, and extending the thermodynamical framework to incorporate the erasure schemes. The ideal candidate will have a strong track record in computational quantum physics preferably with a background in semiconductor quantum dot systems (or similar area of condensed matter physics).
The Quantum Optics and Information Group of Goiânia is a research team of the Institute of Physics of Federal University of Goiás (Brazil) that undertakes research in both theoretical and experimental aspects of quantum mechanics and advanced quantum technologies with future applications in metrology, communication, and computation.
Dear all,
Since its beginnings one of the main purposes of thermodynamics has been the optimization of devices. Commonly, processes are characterized as optimal if they are maximally fast or maximally efficient. Recent years have seen the development of various theoretical tools which tremendously broadened our understanding of such optimal processes, in quantum mechanics and in classical physics. A particular highlight are so-called shortcuts to adiabaticity -- finite time processes that mimic adiabatic dynamics without the requirement of slow driving.
