QuITreat 2024
01. - 05. July 2024, Ferienhaus Schlickwirt, Salzburg
Quantum Information and Thermodynamics Retreat (QuITreat) 2024. Building on the momentum of progress in quantum information theory and thermodynamics, the QuITreat 2024 retreat assembled top-notch experts from both fields. Throughout the week, participants engaged in dynamic discussions and fostered collaborative endeavors, shaping the forefront of these evolving disciplines.
Past Events
QTD 2023
17. - 21. July 2023
TU Wien
QTD 2023 is the annual conference on quantum thermodynamics, which is being held in person for the first time in two years this year right here in Vienna, Austria. The main goal of the conference is to discuss the recent advances in quantum thermodynamics, which is the field that studies thermodynamic processes at the quantum scale. The first edition of the conference was held in Berlin in 2013 and was followed by events in Mallorca, Porquerolles, Erice (QTD2016), Oxford 2017, Santa Barbara 2018, Espoo 2019, Barcelona (online) 2020, Geneva (online) 2021 and Belfast (online) 2022.
2023
QuITreat
11. - 15. September 2023
Sagbauer, Krieglach
Quantum Information and Thermodynamics Retreat 2023. In recent years, a lot of effort has been put into the fields of quantum information theory and thermodynamics. The Quantum Information and Thermodynamics 2023 retreat gathered experts on both of these fields for a week of intensive discussion and collaboration.
2022
TQT 2022
19. - 23. September 2022
TU Wien
Following the success of last year’s event in Zurich, Switzerland, this year’s Time in Quantum Theory conference will take place in person at the Technical University of Vienna (TU Wien), Austria. It will cover various fields from communities who do not usually have a common platform for interaction. Key questions which we wish to address include:
Fundamental limitations to time keeping: how accurate can clocks be as a function of appropriate physical parameters? This includes but is not limited to, models for clocks, quantum information theory and thermodynamics.
How can we understand time through quantum experiments?
Foundational aspects of time: what can/do philosophy and quantum foundations say about time? How does this reflect itself in theoretical models? How can the conception of time in quantum mechanics be reconciled with that of general relativity?
