QSLTHERMO19
ABOUT QSLTHERMO19
The international meeting "Quantum Speed limits and Thermodynamics" aims at gathering world-wide leading experts on quantum science and technology working at the interface of quantum control, far-from-equilibrium physics, and quantum information science.
Quantum speed limits are a set of fundamental results in information geometry that provide bounds on the rate at which physical processes can occur, the limits of computational power of physical devices, and the performance of quantum machines. The engineering of energy-efficient thermal machines and the optimization of quantum processes, including information processing, are at the forefront of quantum thermodynamics, which describes the thermodynamics of small quantum systems. The interplay of these two topics is currently a fast-paced area of research and the focus of the meeting.
