Dear Quantum Computing community,
This message is to inform you that we have extended the deadline for submissions to the 2026 Mini-Workshop on Thermodynamics, Measurement and Classicality (TMC2026) this September. The new deadline is now 6th July. We still have space for a few more posters, so please do submit! Registration without a poster will still be possible until the 5th of August, as before. (There is still no possibility for contributed talks.)

Description:
Join us in Vienna 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 in quantum theory. 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.
Hosting a free workshop such as this means space is limited. We will provide lunch on both days of the conference, but there will be no conference dinner for attendees. Also note that there will be no contributed talks. Applicants may either apply to present a poster, or to simply attend.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.
We hope to see you in Vienna in September!
Yours faithfully,
Tom Rivlin
