We continue Math Reviews seminars in the same slot and in in-person format.

Abstract: Thermodynamics is a remarkable physical theory in the sense that it has so far survived the many fundamental paradigm changes in physics and remained essentially unchanged since the 19th century. However, our ability to measure systems with few degrees of freedom in the quantum regime has challenged our interpretation of some of the thermodynamic quantities such as temperature, heat and work. In this talk I will briefly review the current state of "Quantum Thermodynamics". 

Attendance is compulsory.
