Quantum light engine links atom-photon thermodynamics to classical physics
TL;DRScientists showed how quantum thermodynamics connects to classical physics using atoms and light.
Why it matters: Understanding quantum heat engines could improve efficiency of future quantum computers and devices.
What is heat, and what is useful work if a machine consists only of an atom and light particles? In modern quantum technologies, this kind of question connects thermodynamics with quantum physics. Researchers at the University of Basel, Switzerland, have developed a theoretical…
