The objective of this workshop is to bring together leading theorists to explore the role of coherence in non-canonical distribution, non-equilibrium transport, and quantum heat engines. This topic is inspired by fundamental studies of nano systems and by recent interest in light-harvesting devices and quantum electronics.
We accept abstracts for poster presentations. Please fill the abstract form and send to Peter Giunta. Poster session location: Room 4-265 (Sat)/4-257 (Sun).
For questions and comments with regard to the workshop, please contact Jianshu Cao or Peter Giunta for more information.
The lecture hall is located at the second floor of Building 4. A student from the chemistry department, Evan, will meet the guests at the Kendal hotel at 8:40 am on Saturday.
