8th and 9th June 2017
Paris-Sud University, Orsay
This
workshop on "Theoretical methods for the study of non-equilibrium
fluctuations" will take place at the Laboratory of Theoretical Physics
of Orsay on June 8th and 9th 2017.
In recent years, we have witnessed an impressive accumulation of
fundamental developments in Non-equilibrium Statistical Physics, which
have deepened our understanding of fluctuations. We now know how to
quantify whether fluctuations are rare or not, what is their information
content and their deep link to thermodynamics. On a more applied level,
the need to extract relevant information from non-equilibrium
fluctuations becomes more and more important in a variety of fields, as
different as Nanotechnology, Computer Science or Biology.
We would like this workshop to contribute to reduce the gap between the
fundamental developments and their applications. For this reason, we
have invited three experts in this field to make as clear and
pedagogical presentations as possible, in the form of a set of lectures.
These lectures should be accessible to a broad audience and for this
reason, we plan to have them videotaped and put online. There will be no
oral or poster presentations from participants other than the speakers,
but we plan to leave ample time for discussions.
The event is completely free of charges, including registration and meals. However, registration is compulsory to participate.
