Workshop on non-equilibrium quantum thermodynamics:
                                     Stochastic models and experimental platforms

Organizers: Stefano Gherardini, Paola Cappellaro, Stefano Ruffo, Andrea Trombettoni

Quantum thermodynamics aims at understanding the laws of thermodynamics in the context of quantum physics, to elucidate its connections to quantum information,  quantum machine efficiency, and energy-work relations. 

The goal of this workshop is to bring together experts from both the theoretical and experimental sides to discuss promising directions for the field, including theoretical protocols to identify the probability profile of energy-change fluctuations along individual quantum trajectories and the challenges to probe non-equilibrium thermodynamics in a wide range of existing experimental platforms, such as spin defects, ions, superconducting circuits, levitated nanospheres, and more.

The workshop is organized as a part of a collaborative project between MIT and SISSA, supported by the Friuli-Venezia Giulia Region and the MIT-MISTI program.
