MajuLab Seminar by Alexia Auffèves, Institut Néel, CNRS, Grenoble, France

Title: A short story of quantum and information thermodynamics
Date/Time: 30-Sep, 04:00PM
Venue: Online Via Zoom

Abstract: This seminar is a fast journey through the build-up of key thermodynamical concepts, i.e. work, heat and irreversibility -- and how they relate to information. Born at the time of industrial revolution to optimize the exploitation of thermal resources, these concepts have been adapted to small systems where thermal fluctuations are predominant. Extending the framework to quantum fluctuations is a great challenge of quantum thermodynamics, that opens exciting research lines e.g. measurement fueled engines or thermodynamics of driven-dissipative systems. On a more applied side, it provides the tools to optimize the energetic consumption of future quantum computers.
