The 2026 Mini-Workshop on Thermodynamics, Measurement and Classicality (TMC2026) is a one-off event to bring together those working on the thermodynamics of quantum measurements and related fields

Join us in Vienna this September for a mini-workshop dedicated to discussions of quantum measurements as dynamical processes, and how this relates to questions around thermodynamics, entropy, information broadcasting, and the emergence of classicality. The intention is for the invited speakers to give long (approx. 120 min) talks providing pedagogical introductions to their approach to these questions, with plenty of time for in-depth discussions with the audience about their approaches to these problems.

Hosting a free workshop such as this means space is limited. We will only accept the first 60 people who apply to attend as regular attendees, and we only have space for a maximum of 40 posters. Acceptance to attend the workshop will be given on a first-come-first-served basis wherever possible. Lunch and coffee will be provided on the two days of the conference, but there will be no conference dinner for attendees. Note that there will be no contributed talks. Applicants may either apply to present a poster, or to simply attend. The organising committee reserves the right to approve or reject any poster submission or any attendance application for any reason.

We are also hoping to organise tours of the research reactor at the Atominstitut for the attendees. If this event happens, it will be on Friday the 11th of September. Additionally, we hope to organise a visit to one of Vienna's famous "Heuriger" wine taverns on the 11th.

If you wish to attend the workshop but would be unable to arrange travel and accommodation costs, please contact us. It may be possible to assist you financially in extremely limited circumstances.

Thank you for your consideration, and we hope to see you in Vienna in September!
