Researchers at the University of Basel have developed a new approach to applying thermodynamics to microscopic quantum systems. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. In ...

Understanding the boundary between classical and quantum physics has long been a central question in science. While thermal light fields have traditionally been viewed as classical, the team ...

A series of quantum physics experiments and theoretical papers now suggest that heat can flow spontaneously from a cold object to a hot one, provided the right quantum conditions are in place. This ...

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 ...

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 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.
