NEW!!!:
Description
The Centre of Excellence in Low Temperature Quantum Phenomena and Devices and the Centre of Excellence in Analysis and Dynamics Research are jointly organizing a graduate training school on Open Quantum Systems.
The school is addressed to students and researchers interested in non-equilibrium and thermodynamic phenomena in small condensed-matter systems. The school will give an overview of recent experimental, theoretical and mathematical developments.
Topics : thermodynamics of open quantum systems and nano-scale heat engines, controlled quantum dynamics, open quantum Brownian motion: quantum trajectories and quantum stochastic differential equations, foundations of quantum mechanics. Thermodynamic measurements of quantum devices, thermometry and calorimetry.
ONLINE REGISTRATION IS CLOSED
REGISTRATION DEADLINE : 31.08.2015.
