EPSRC Grand Challenge Network “Emergence and Physics far from Equilibrium”
Workshop on
Non-Equilibrium Processes at Negative Temperature
Collins Building, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow 23-24 October 2014
Negative absolute temperature states (above infinite temperature) were first suggested by L. Onsager in 1949 and have been the subject of scientific debate since. The workshop addresses the importance of negative temperature states in non-equilibrium systems and their role in UK and international research in Atomic, Quantum and Laser Physics.
Invited speakers:
- Andrew Daley (Strathclyde, UK)
- Martin Evans (Edinburgh, UK)
- Magnus Johansson, (Linkoping, Sweden)
- Roberto Livi (Florence, Italy)
- Allard Mosk (Twente, The Netherlands)
- Alessia Pasquazi (Sussex, UK)
- Antonio Picozzi (Dijon, France)
