Specific examples include
- how the fundamental link between information and thermodynamics relates to the operation of memories
-how a single particle undergoing Brownian motion can be used to explore fundamental limits of operating engines in the classical and quantum regime
- how we can get a deeper understanding of the meaning of the 2nd law and the thermodynamic arrow of time.
Each student will, with the help of a supervisor, prepare an oral presentation on a specific topic. In addition, students will be provided questions and literature to prepare for a moderated debate on deeper topics within the seminar.
