Physicists prove a long-suspected quantum speed limit for thermalization
TL;DRScientists confirmed quantum systems have a minimum speed limit for reaching thermal equilibrium.
Why it matters: Understanding quantum thermalization speeds could improve quantum computing and materials science applications.
Whether we are waiting for a car windshield to defrost in winter or a warm drink to cool down, how long it takes for an object to settle into a stable, even temperature within its environment (thermal equilibrium) depends on numerous factors. These can include surface area, the…
