The Revolution will be thermalized.<\/strong> This interdisciplinary workshop that brings together philosophers and physicists to explore the philosophical and foundational implications of the resource-theoretic turn in thermodynamics.<\/p>\n The workshop will take place June 20-22, at the University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada, in North Campus Building Room 114.<\/p>\n This event will be live streamed on June 21 – 22.

\nRecently, there has been a shift in the way that many physicists are approaching the science of thermodynamics. Instead of regarding its laws as purely physical laws, researchers are increasingly treating the theory as a theory about how agents, such as ourselves, can use information about a physical system as a resource for extracting useful work from the system. Seen this way, investigations into the thermodynamics of quantum systems have a deep connection with work in Quantum Information Theory.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/philphysics.uwo.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/map-300x143.jpg\")
