While thermodynamics is one of the most well-established physical theories, much remains to be worked out in its extension to the quantum realm. With the emergence of quantum technologies, it is becoming essential to gain a better understanding of thermodynamics at the quantum level. Indeed, quantum computers offer a game-changing new tool for discovery in quantum thermodynamics. Furthermore, still in nascent stages, quantum computers stand to gain vast improvements in performance from new insights derived from quantum thermodynamics.
In this workshop we aim to bring together an international group of scientists from the quantum physics community to discuss recent advances at the nexus of quantum thermodynamics and quantum computation. Participants are encouraged to submit an abstract for either a contributed talk (20 minutes) and/or a poster presentation on theoretical, applied, or experimental topics relating to quantum thermodynamics and quantum computation.
Relevant topics include:
Lunches from Tuesday to Thursday will be provided at the canteen of Scuola Normale Superiore. Additionally, we will host a Welcome Drinks event the evening before the start of the workshop (7 October) and a social dinner is planned on Tuesday evening (8 October).
