During Sept.18-20, 2018, the CSRC Workshop on Quantum Coherence in Energy Transfer and Conversion organized by Complex System Division, Beijing Computational Science Research Center, has been successfully held at CSRC.

The objective of this workshop is to bring together leading theorists to explore the role of quantum coherence in non-canonical distribution, non-equilibrium transport, and energy conversion. The topic is inspired by fundamental studies of nano systems and by recent interest in light-harvesting devices and quantum electronics. The workshop has attracted physicists, chemists, as well material scientists and will facilitate the interaction between CSRC and other institutes. It provides excellent opportunities for networking and the development of research linkages between participants.

During the three-day workshop, 21 invited talks and 2 contributed talks were given. This workshop has provided excellent opportunities for networking and development of research linkages between participants.
