Event description: 

In this talk we will review some recent developments in the framework of hypocoervicity to obtain quantitative convergence estimate of classical and quantum dynamics, with focus on underdamped Langevin dynamics for sampling and Lindblad dynamics for open quantum systems. If time permits, we will also discuss some related problems in two-timescale gradient descent and ascent dynamics.
