Mathematical Physics of Non-Equilibrium Quantum Systems conference held at King's

The two-day Christmas workshop "Mathematical Physics of Non-Equilibrium Quantum Systems", was organized jointly by Dr Joe Bhaseen from the Department of Physics and Dr Benjamin Doyon from the Department of Mathematics. More than 70 international participants attended, with high-quality speakers including two Boltzmann Medalists (J. Cardy and G. Jona-Lasinio).

 
Prof. Giovanni Jona-Lasinio (La Sapienza, University of Rome)

The international conference explored the techniques and ideas underlying non-equilibrium quantum systems. It was a group event of the Theoretical and Mathematical Physics Group of the Institute of Physics a Focus Workshop of the EPSRC Network Plus on Emergence and Physics far from Equilibrium, and is co-sponsored by the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Cross-Disciplinary Approaches to Non-Equilibrium Systems (CANES). The workshop brought together theoretical and mathematical physicists in order to discuss the recent technical advances and their relations with fundamental ideas. The workshop encouraged communication between various communities working in the area. Although the emphasis was on quantum systems, classical aspects were also covered in order to provide a good overview of the subject.
