Higgs Centre for Theoretical Physics

The Higgs Centre for Theoretical Physics was established in 2012 by the University of Edinburgh to seek answers to fundamental questions about the universe. We do this by creating opportunities for researchers and students from around the world to come together to formulate new theoretical concepts, taking us beyond the limitations of current paradigms.

Nonequilibrium Quantum and Statistical Thermodynamics Workshop

As a physical theory, thermodynamics is somewhat unique in that its development was driven largely by practicality, and in particular, the need to optimise the efficiency of the first thermal machines which appeared in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The subsequent refinement and developments in classical thermodynamics and ...
