Researchers have devised a new way to define thermodynamic concepts in microscopic quantum systems, where conventional distinctions between heat and work begin to blur. Researchers at the University o ...

Thermodynamics was built to describe steam engines and stars, yet the same equations now sit at the heart of quantum ...

A new paper published in Nature Communications could put scientists on the path to understanding one of the wildest, hottest, ...

Quantum thermal machines are devices that leverage quantum mechanical effects to convert energy into useful work or cooling, ...

Scientists uncovered a quantum spin liquid, a state of matter that may have applications for quantum information.

Quantum theory fails to explain how the reality we experience emerges from the world of particles. A new take on quantum ...

Quantum experiments keep stripping away our everyday intuitions, replacing them with a picture of reality in which cause, effect and even “facts” depend on how we look. New tests of entanglement, ...

As you begin your hybrid quantum approach, here are the advantages, use cases and limitations to keep in mind.

Quantum mechanics, the theory which rules the microworld of atoms and particles, certainly has the X factor. Unlike many other areas of physics, it is bizarre and counter-intuitive, which makes it ...

Why can’t a computer both play chess and recognize images familiar to most people? It’s a simple question that cuts to the core of the biggest challenges in computing today: Despite their immense ...
