Announcements of conferences, workshops, schools…

Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.

In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.

We're organizing a one-week winter school in condensed matter physics, focusing on ultrafast thermodynamics. This event bridges ultrafast dynamics in quantum materials with nonequilibrium statistical physics. The program is designed for PhD students, advanced Master's students, and PostDocs. Participants will explore cutting-edge theoretical and experimental methods, gaining a comprehensive understanding of this emerging research area.

About the Winter School on Ultrafast Thermodynamics:

Quantum materials host a variety of intriguing phenomena, based on many-body interactions or topology. Due to tremendous experimental progress, these phenomena can now be controlled and probed on sub-picosecond time-scales, showing the dynamics of excitations, e.g., in terms of phonons (lattice), magnons (magnetization), excitons (electrons), and phase transitions.

This exciting progress requires extending our concepts of thermodynamics beyond classical and equilibrium regimes into the quantum and nonequilibrium domains. As a result, this dynamic and challenging research direction has emerged as a vibrant field of study.

To shape this promising research direction, the upcoming winter school aims to bring together experts from the fields of non-equilibrium statistical physics as well as ultrafast dynamics under the umbrella of ultrafast thermodynamics. The winter school provides an excellent opportunity for building future research collaborations and disseminating knowledge to the next generation of experts.
