The extraction of work (i.e., usable energy) from quantum processes is a key focus of quantum thermodynamics research, which explores the application of thermodynamics laws to quantum systems.

Scientists work to sync up quantum objects for high-resolution sensing and complex computation. (Nanowerk News) We say a message is incoherent when we can’t make it out, or when it doesn’t make sense.

A series of quantum physics experiments and theoretical papers now suggest that heat can flow spontaneously from a cold ...

This polymer-based system shows that coherent quantum behavior can be designed into stable, tunable, solution-processable materials compatible with real devices. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Quantum ...

Scientists have developed a new way to build rare-earth crystals that boosts quantum coherence to tens of milliseconds. This leap could extend quantum communication distances from city blocks to ...

We say a message is incoherent when we can't make it out, or when it doesn't make sense. A scribbled note, a drunken argument or a conversation taking place five tables down in a crowded cafe might ...
