Where: Cabot Division Room at Mallinckrodt
When: Friday July 15 from 3:30 PM to 4:30 PM (note the change in regular
time)
What: César's (last) group meeting on the following topic:
"The Laws of Quantum Thermodynamics
Quantum thermodynamics is the study of heat and work dynamics in quantum
systems. What remains of classical thermodynamics if one goes to the extreme
limit of small quantum systems having a few degrees of freedom? By using
concepts from quantum information and quantum channels, we propose an
intuitive way to generalize the Zeroth, First and Second Law of
thermodynamics to the quantum regime, beyond classical thermodynamics. A
quantum correction to the Carnot Efficiency is derived. Goodbyes will be
said.
