On Tuesday, June 7, 2016, the Jožef Stefan Institute hosted the colloquium ” Nonequilibrium quantum physics: Exact steps,” led by Prof. Dr. Tomaž Prosen.
Non-equilibrium quantum physics is one of today’s central research fields, particularly due to the exceptional controllability of modern experiments with cold atoms and photonic lattices. The topic has become a fertile intersection of various theoretical and mathematical physics domains, including condensed matter theory, statistical mechanics, quantum field theory, string theory, quantum information, and dynamical systems theory.
Prof. Dr. Prosen presented recent advances in the field, focusing on the search for exact solutions to quantum spin chain equations under boundary conditions. This research has led to the discovery of new types of conservation laws, which are crucial for understanding quantum transport.
